Workforce Development

Support for individuals

 

The regeneration of Barking and Dagenham will create thousands of extra jobs in the borough. We want to make sure that local people have access to training opportunities that provide the right skills and qualifications that mean they can access these jobs, as well as those arising through the wider re-development of the Thames Gateway.

 

We are working with our partners to support skills development for key sectors of the local economy, including construction, health, social care and the public services, cultural and creative services, retail and manufacturing.

 

Key issues for us in supporting local people into work are:

Agencies that provide a range of help for adults

Includes employment, training (including CV presentation), job search and applications, and interview skills.
