Help to find work
If you are looking for work, the Employment and Skills Team at Solihull Council can point you in the right direction. We can help you put a great CV together, give you advice on how to do well at interviews and talk to you about where and how to look for jobs that suit your skills and experience.
If you’re not quite ready for employment, we can help you to find training courses or work experience which will help to make you more employable.
If you need our support, please contact us.
