In recognition of its key role in developing the enterprise talents of Walsall's young people, Walsall EBP has recently been awarded a £100,000 grant from Walsall Council through the Local Authority Business Grant Initiative.

The funding will enable Walsall EBP to continue employing an Enterprise Advisor to maximise the opportunities for young people to develop important enterprise and employability skills while they are still at school or college. Much of this work involves improving the links between education and business so that young people are better prepared for the world of work and can contribute to the future prosperity of Walsall.
