E11 Skills and Opportunities for All
- The Mayor will work with strategic partners to address low pay and gender and ethnicity pay gaps, and, as set out in his Skills for Londoners Strategy, co-ordinate national, regional and local initiatives to promote inclusive access to training, skills and employment opportunities for all Londoners.
- Development proposals should support employment, skills development, apprenticeships, and other education and training opportunities in both the construction and end-use phases, including through Section 106 obligations where appropriate. Boroughs should ensure these are implemented in ways that:
- enable those people undertaking training to complete their training and apprenticeships
- ensure the greatest possible level of take-up by Londoners of the training, apprenticeship and employment opportunities created
- increase the proportion of under-represented groups within the construction industry workforce.
In partnership with the Mayor, boroughs are encouraged to consider cross-borough working to open up opportunities, including those created via Section 106 obligations, on a reciprocal basis, to residents from adjacent boroughs and across London.
