Local London Youth Employment Roadmap
Our Youth Integration Network is working to improve the join up between employment and skills support for young people transitioning from education to employment.
Our Youth Employment Roadmap – shaped by young people, employers, boroughs and education partners – the Youth Employment Roadmap sets out clear actions to create better outcomes for local young people (16-25) as a sub-region, around four key areas:
- improved transition points;
- exposure to work;
- in-education support;
- engagement, awareness and access.
This is a live and evolving framework that will continue to be shaped by ongoing feedback from young people and partners.
Sub-regional Digital Infrastructure Strategy for Local London and South London Partnership
Contrary to perception, there remain parts of London that have suffered from a lack of commercial investment in digital infrastructure that consequently has resulted in underlying gaps in delivery capability. These gaps need to be closed in order for boroughs within the Local London and the South London Partnership sub-regions to achieve their growth goals. This Sub-regional Digital Infrastructure Strategy sets out how and why this needs to be achieved.
