Who we are
Walsall Works is a council funded programme offering one-to-one support for people in Walsall looking for work, training or support to progress into a chosen career path.

We provide support to local people to achieve personal career goals. Whether you're skilled or someone with no work experience, whatever the personal circumstance or stage in your career, our aim is to help you move forward and make the right choices.
We offer a free job brokerage service to local businesses to support with their recruitment needs. This gives us access to hundreds of local jobs through our employer links which we match with local people.

- providing practical advice for writing CVs, completing job applications and practicing for interviews
