The West Midlands Education Business Links Group brings together the key regional education business links organisations and includes Education Business Link Consortia, EBPs and the LSC. The group meets regularly to discuss issues relating to the development and delivery of education business link activities which fall into the following areas:

  • Strategic development and positioning
  • Work-Related Learning
  • Enterprise
  • Work Experience
  • Professional Development Placements

Education Business Link Organisations have a unique role to play in support of the long-term wealth creation and sustained economic regeneration of the West Midlands.

This region has an excellent track record in the area of education business link activity. Young people aged 5-19 are engaged in a wide range of activities which will develop their employability skills and better prepare them for the world of work.
Our success is due to the commitment of many of our schools, colleges, businesses and delivery agencies that bring a wealth of expertise and creativity of approach.

The vision of the group is for:

"The West Midlands to become the lead region for education business link activity, evidenced by a population of informed, motivated and skilled young people ready to step into the world of work to achieve their potential and contribute to the region’s economic and social development"
