The British Institute of Cleaning Science has announced a new event aimed at encouraging the next generation to consider careers within the professional cleaning industry.
The Institute will host its inaugural one-day BICSc Youth Event on 9th July 2025, in collaboration with Youth Employment UK (YEUK).

It gives delegates the ideal opportunity to shape their future and discover the numerous possibilities to achieve and succeed in the cleaning and FM sectors!"
