dreds of work coaches are being recruited to boost employment in the West Midlands as part of a new package of support focused on training and reskilling jobseekers, and getting the region back to work.
West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and the Department for Work and Pensions are joining forces to provide targeted support to match jobseekers with vacancies, ensuring they have the skills to meet local demand as businesses reopen. Vacancies for 300 work coaches are due to go live over the coming days – with local people encouraged to apply for roles.
The new work coaches, part of a huge nationwide recruitment effort, will give claimants localised and tailored support to help them move towards and into work, with services delivered through jobcentres and outreach activities, at the heart of local communities. The WMCA will be using its £130m training budget to make sure that local people have the skills needed to secure new roles.
