About Us  WALSALL EBP MISSION STATEMENT "Walsall EBP seeks to encourage greater links between schools, colleges and employers to raise awareness of what happens both inside and outside schools. These links will provide insights and understanding for employers and school staff and help raise the aspirations and achievements of students, to allow them to maximise their potential and enable them to become part of a skilled and adaptable workforce" BACKGROUND - Exciting Times Ahead!! Walsall, with a population of approximately 300,000, is a town with a proud industrial heritage and is internationally famous for the quality of goods produced by the leather trade. Although proud of its past, Walsall is looking eagerly to the future with plans to spend around £750 million in transforming and revitalising the town between now and 2015. Work on £15 million improvements to the Ring Road around Littleton Street has just begun which will help Walsall to capitalise on its closeness to major transport links. Investment will also be made to develop canal-side areas and rejuvenate and improve derelict land as well as improving schools and adult training to ensure that local people are able to take advantage of the anticipated 5,500 new jobs and the building of 1600 new homes. Walsall EBP operates within the Walsall boundary and has strong links with the other three Black Country boroughs - Dudley, Sandwell and Wolverhampton. Walsall EBP works with schools and colleges across the borough and offers a range of activities and opportunities to link education with business with the aim of improving the employability skills of young people.
