A NEW "job shop" has opened its doors in the middle of Chelmsley Wood.
Solihull Council has launched the employment and recruitment centre in Maple Walk, with the aim of offering a range of support for local residents.
An agreement to take on the premises was signed a few weeks ago, with staff starting to run services last month.
A mix of one-to-one sessions and workshops for larger groups will be held at the unit, which has been described as a "one-stop shop".
Coun Ken Meeson, cabinet member for children, education and skills, has hailed the centre as "an excellent opportunity".
In particular there are hopes it will help young people in an area where the unemployment level is above the Solihull average.
One of the first big events was an event to offer advice and support to those considering a career as a care worker, which was held at the venue on Monday (November 4).
