This will include access to training linked to the recruitment of jobs in key areas like care, construction and digital, where employers are recruiting in the region. Where training is linked directly to local jobs, trainees will still be able to access benefits.

Please keep checking this page as we will regularly update with training and employment opportunities.

Colleges West Midlands have collated a prospectus showing the free courses and learning pathways available to you. The programmes have been specifically designed to help residents get back into work or move into a new career area.
