SkillsSkills
The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is dedicated to providing skills and training for people who are unemployed, particularly for those from the five London boroughs nearest the Olympic Park (Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest and Greenwich).
We work with all the main contractors on the Olympic Park to identify vacancies and match people who are suitably trained for those opportunities.
