Katie Bytheway, Assistant Director for Student Employability, said: “In these uncertain times, University College Birmingham is offering support to those in the local community who have lost their jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Due to the vocational nature of many of our courses, we have recognised the devastating impact of this pandemic across multiple industries and wanted to step in to ensure that the local community received vital support in returning to work.”
