The Young People In-Company Innovation Programme
What was it all about?
Funded by Walsall Council/ Working Neighbourhoods Fund and in partnership with Walsall College, the Young People In-Company Innovation Programme looked to help young people access unique work placement opportunities whilst supporting local businesses to innovate and grow. Young people spent approximately 8-10 weeks working with a company to present a range of fresh ideas and real solutions with the aim of improving efficiency, increasing sales, developing new markets and ultimately growing profits.
