Learn how the Mayor is delivering the skills to help Londoners into good work, support businesses to thrive, and grow the economy.

Employability skills and jobs for Londoners

The Mayor is helping Londoners to get the skills they need to access good jobs and lead happier, healthier lives.

To help everyone find a job they love, we've created a series of resources for Londoners. We also work closely with potential employers and training providers, to make London’s job market better at all levels. 

Whether you’re a jobseeker, an employer, or a trainer, there’s a resource library for you.

What we are doing within the Mayor’s Jobs and Skills team

The Mayor is committed to ensuring London’s skill system reflects the needs of our economy, can drive growth and ensure that Londoners can get good work in growth sectors.

The Mayor's priority for jobs and skills are outlined in the Inclusive Talent Strategy (link):

  • Putting employers in the driving seat of our skills system, to unlock the opportunity of inclusive growth in the capital.

  • Building a more integrated skills system, working with partners including government, skills, employment, careers and health to connect Londoners with the right pathways to training and employment.

  • Tackling barriers to retaining talent in London- ensure Londoners have the support they need to stay in work including fair pay, information on employment rights and support on housing and childcare.

London and national government, London’s skills, health and community sectors and our business community are pulling together to deliver Inclusive Growth. You can read more about the strategy below.

There are thousands of learning and training opportunities in London. Learn more about our work, and find your nearest skills provider.
