Careers Hub are award winners!

We are delighted that our Careers Hub East team’s work with long-term corporate partner CGI were recognised at the Corporate Engagement Awards on 19 September 2024.

Held at Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, the Corporate Engagement Awards celebrate the most successful and innovative corporate partnerships and sponsorships, and the communication strategies around those collaborations.

Our collaboration with CGI, one of the world’s leading IT and business consulting services firms, took the overall win in the award for Best Environmental or Sustainable Programme.

Together, we were also awarded bronze in the Best educational programme category, won by Team GB and Paralympics GB with Hark.

We are excited to have been recognised for our joint work on our flagship Sustainable Careers Fest, a green skills event that brings to life green career opportunities and pathways for secondary school students and teachers across our nine boroughs.

Stephen O’Leary, Interim Director for Local London said “With CGI’s passionate support for sustainability and supporting future generations, this event has helped thousands of students across our sub-region broaden their knowledge of green career opportunities. We are thrilled to have been recognised at these awards in two categories amongst such prestigious partnerships. Local London Careers Hub developed an event that has provided a lasting legacy, with CGI now funding and organising the Sustainable Careers Fest in partnership with employers involved in the event. The support of employers is paramount in keeping careers education relevant, exciting and practical.”
