Building the stage for the London 2012 Games will give people in London and the UK unprecedented access to thousands of construction jobs, training and career opportunities.
In February 2008 the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA)published a strategy to outline how it will create new jobs, increase sustainable skills among local people and improve links between employers.
It includes ‘London 2012 Jobs’, a jobs brokerage service run in partnership with Jobcentre Plus, that will match candidates in the five Host Boroughs (Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest and Greenwich) and elsewhere in the UK with Olympic Park job opportunities.
The ODA will work with contractors on the Park to identify job opportunities. These will be advertised by Jobcentre Plus and the employment brokerage services in the five Host Boroughs. Opportunities will also be advertised through the UK-wide Jobcentre Plus network.
