Walsall Council supporting Black Country reverse jobs fair
Published on
As part of its supported internship initiative and to mark National Supported Internship Day on Thursday 27 March 2025, Walsall Council is collaborating with partners including local collages, employers, local authorities and career professionals to host a Black Country reverse jobs fair.
The free event will take place on Tuesday 1 April 2025 at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley between 12 noon and 2pm. Employers attending the reverse jobs fair will have the opportunity to meet a diverse pool of candidates, network with industry professionals, and learn how they can make their businesses more diverse and inclusive.
“ Walsall Council is committed to ensuring that young people in Walsall have access to meaningful career opportunities and I am delighted that we are supporting this event.
“Unlike traditional jobs fairs, a reverse jobs fair is an event for job seekers and young people to showcase their skills, experience and talents, and explain to potential employers why they would be a good fit for a job role. It’s a great way for businesses to engage with a talented, enthusiastic group of job seekers who are ready for employment.
“
A supported internship is a structured, work-based programme for young people aged 16 to 24 with an Educations, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). These internships provide hands-on experience, training, and support to help young people transition into paid employment.
