London Talent Strategy

The GLA published a full and an Easy-Read version of a London Inclusive Talent Strategy, as here. There is a summary of it.

• The target is increasing London’s employment rate to 80%.
• By 2035, an aim is a 20% increase in real household weekly income for the lowest-earning 20% of Londoners.
• Key metrics will include economic outcomes for learners, diversity in the workforce, and skills shortage vacancies.

There will be considerable dependencies on the way the number and types of jobs in Opportunity Areas are developed, the availability of training and the willingness of people to take it and benefit from it.
