3 years, 8 months agoNews and updates on how we're building a better connected, more prosperous, fairer, greener and healthier West Midlands.
These are exciting times. Growth is strong and optimism is high. Our region is at the forefront of change and we are the place to be in the UK.
West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has been created to deliver an ambitious plan to drive inclusive economic growth in the West Midlands region and build a healthier, happier, better connected and more prosperous population.
Made up of 18 local authorities and three Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and chaired by the Mayor of the West Midlands, WMCA is working together to move powers from Whitehall to the West Midlands and its locally elected politicians, who know this region best.
This is a place determined to make its mark, and it is succeeding. The West Midlands’ magnificent past drives the region’s future. Its cities are built on industry and are now perfectly positioned to re-invent the industrial revolution for the future. This is a place built on social connection, collaboration and progress.
Key priorities include transport; productivity and skills; housing and regeneration; industrial strategy; finance and investment and public service reform.
We are a region on the move. Our time is now.
Transport, Influencing, West Midlands, Development, Economic Growth, Partnership, and Infrastructure
West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) was set up in 2016. We want to make the West Midlands a happy, healthy, place to live.

🧡 A must read post on recruitment anxiety from our Recruitment Partner Paula McInally.
"Behind every CV, every email, every interview, there’s a person. And that person is often dealing with a lot more than we realise."
🌟 Seventeen-year-old Charlotte Marriott, a young mum from Castle Vale, is transforming her future thanks to Growth Path.
💪 Supported by WMCA funding, the project has given 20 local people valuable work experience and new skills in horticulture and ecology, opening doors to future opportunities.
🙌 With no GCSEs and a difficult start in life, Charlotte now has hands-on experience planting bulbs and learning new skills. She impressed so much at Growth Path that she has now secured a paid traineeship starting in February!
📚 Charlotte will gain qualifications in English, Maths and environmental work, while earning and building a career in landscaping.
