This month we teamed up with Wolves Foundation for a brilliant Career Kick-off event at Molineux stadium, helping young people take their next steps towards the world of work.
From getting hands-on with AI and building their LinkedIn skills to meeting local employers and exploring job opportunities, the day was all about building confidence, discovering new possibilities and making connections that could open doors.
With the West Midlands experiencing one of England’s highest rates of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET), connecting young people with the right skills, support and opportunities is key to building a stronger future.
Through our partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority, we’re continuing to bring employers and youth organisations together to help young people build confidence, develop their skills and find routes into work.
A huge thank you to Microsoft, LinkedIn, Accenture, the English Football League and the Premier League and all the employers who took part. Your support gave young people the chance to develop practical AI and LinkedIn skills and connect directly with local employers and potential job opportunities.
It’s through collaboration like this that we can make a real difference for young people.

We are delighted to be working closely with so many different partners and to have hosted what is a really important event to support young people into work. Helping to equip our participants with essential workplace skills to help connect talent with opportunity, particularly across the digital sector and AI, is part of the Economic Prosperity and Employment pillar of our five-year strategy. So much of the Foundation’s work with young people is geared towards helping them access opportunities for training and employment, and to have welcomed so many of them to Molineux to access such high-level professional expertise made for a really worthwhile event.
