The West Midlands Combined Authority has received up to £5 million from central government to run a Youth Guarantee Trailblazer, supporting 18–21-year-olds who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). The programme funds subsidised work experience, pre-apprenticeship training, and transition support across Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. It is primarily aimed at young people facing barriers such as mental health challenges, low qualifications, or care experience, delivered through local authority partners rather than directly to businesses.
