Mayoral strategy on vocational training and employment (2007)

websitebuilder-hub • 22 January 2018

In 2007 OpenCities developed evidence base for new Mayoral strategy on vocational training and employment for London resulting in new orientation for public spend on adult education. 

OpenCities was hired by the London Development Agency to lead the development of a city-wide adult vocational skills strategy on behalf of the Mayor of London. Working with an employer-led skills and employment commission comprising some of London's largest businesses, as well as a team of researchers from GLA Economics, OpenCities helped the LDA produce a strategy and supporting evidence base aimed at tailoring national vocational policy to the specific needs of Londoners.
Prior to this OpenCities represented the Thames Gaateway sub-regional partnership in its submission to the Examination in Public of the London Plan. OpenCities MD Marc Stephens had previously also led the production of LEST, the London Employment and Skills Taskforce report, that set out and remained the fundamental agenda for the achievement of social legacy benefits from the London Olympic Games. He was also the principal author of the Major's second London Economic Strategy in 2004.
