No One Left Behind is back! The free to attend, social impact conference tackling the challenges young people in the Black Country are facing in the employment market, will take place on Friday 27th of April 2018 at Copthorne Merry Hill.

The conference, now at its second edition, is an initiative by Talent Match Black Country aimed at local businesses and employers, government authorities, universities and training providers, youth organisations, funding bodies and all those with an interest in the regional employment landscape and the prosperity of the region. Some young people in the Black Country are living through challenging times and it’s important for us to galvanise all stakeholders to get involved, discuss and tackle the problems.

No One Left Behind is here to bust the myths surrounding youth employment, provide a platform for young people in the areas of greatest need to share experiences and entice those with the power to do so, to take action.

The Talent Match BC project is approaching an important 5-year benchmark and, while it is of utmost importance to share achievements and successes, this conference is about looking forward and the transition towards a more focused approach in the years to come.
