Need help finding or staying in work?
If you live in Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton, free employment support is available to help you move into work and feel confident staying there.
Connect to Work Black Country offers one‑to‑one, practical support for people aged 18–24 who have a health condition, disability, or come from a disadvantaged background. The support is tailored to your needs and designed to help you achieve your employment goals.
You can use this service if you:
• Live in Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton
• Are aged 18 to 24
• Are not receiving help from another DWP employment programme
• Have the right to live and work in the UK
You can refer yourself, or someone else (such as your GP, employer, local council or housing association) can refer you with your consent. Once referred, the team will contact you to discuss your situation and how they can best support you.
