Walsall Works and the Youth Trailblazer Programme are looking to partner with local employers to create paid work placement opportunities for young people aged 18-21.

Funded through the Youth Guarantee Programme, employers can access up to £4,000 per participant to help cover wage costs for a 12-week placement.

GCSE Results Day can bring a mix of emotions, and that's perfectly normal! Take a deep breath. No matter what your results are, there are incredible opportunities waiting for you.

If you're feeling unsure about your next steps, or you're ready to dive into the world of work or further education, Walsall Works is here to support you. We offer guidance and practical help to navigate your post-GCSE journey with confidence.

Three lies that stop people getting hired. 🛑

❌ "I don't have enough experience."

❌ "I'm not good enough"

❌ "I need to wait until I feel more confident."

If you've ever talked yourself out of applying for a job, here’s the truth👇

Your strengths are worth hiring. You are capable. The problem isn’t you...

It’s that no one's ever shown you how to stand out with what you’ve already got.

That's exactly why Mission UNstoppable exists.

In just 3 weeks, you'll:

✅ Discover what you're good at

✅ Create proof of what you're capable of

✅ Use smarter strategies to get noticed by employers

✅ Grow your job-hunting confidence with a crew that's got your back 💛

We're already helping young people move into paid work and apprenticeships.
