As members of the Mayor’s Skills Academies Programme, we are working with our partners across South West London to help people hardest hit by the pandemic, people who are out of work and people from under represented communities find jobs and careers in health and care services in the NHS, social services and the community and voluntary sector.
The programme also helps people to get training and work experience to develop their skills.
The Mayor’s Skills Academies Programme has three distinct areas:
Improving engagement and access
Improving engagement and access for South West London residents. Through targeted engagement and informed reach to improve recruitment and simplifying the language and content of adverts, job descriptions and person specifications.
Improving social mobility
Improving social mobility by developing intelligence of current workforce in our most deprived wards to understand the existing skill set and link to available opportunities and needs through continuing professional development, specific functional skills development, shadowing, and promotion into a new role in a different area.
Project based work experience
Project based work experience could offer potential candidates a more tangible experience to help with finding work and to support managers with workload.
