Our Employment Access Team (EA Team) work with employers to offer jobs, skills and work experience opportunities to schools and young people who are not in any employment.

We want to help all young people to be able to get a job, training or education place that helps them achieve their ambitions. We work with some amazing partners here in Birmingham including The Prince’s Trust to offer mentoring and a wide range of opportunities.

Our partnership project is called Youth Promise Plus and supports young people who have finished school. You can find out more about this support and other services at www.birmingham.gov.uk/brumskills
