The event is being run in partnership with City of Wolverhampton Council, Wolves At Work 18-24, Department for Work & Pensions, Black Country Impact, Talent Match Black Country and Jobcentre Plus.
City of Wolverhampton Council Director of Regeneration, Richard Lawrence, said: “This summer is an exciting time for the region with the arrival of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and events taking place across the West Midlands.
“In Wolverhampton, we are relishing the opportunity to stage the cycling time trials, starting at West Park.
“It is a fantastic global event to be part of and will also provide thousands of opportunities for our unemployed residents to get jobs and training that could lead to long-term employment.
“I would urge anyone aged between 18 and 30 to get to The Way Youth Hub on May 11 and find out exactly what’s on offer.”
Richard Smith, DWP Group Partnership Manager in the West Midlands, added: “This is a great opportunity to not only be part of something huge in the West Midlands but sectors in which jobs are currently available for the games are also priority sectors where we have 100s of jobs available ongoing. All the more reason to get involved.”
