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.
