London Mayor launches Academy to increase Job Openings for Skilled Workers

According to Spencer-Ogden report, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has launched a construction academy as part of his campaign to boost Skills for Londoners.

Skills for Londoners is in partnership with the housing industry and will aim to increase the number of skilled construction workers across London to help fulfill the vast range of housing target.

The scheme also hopes to provide access to construction skills training and funds for new learning spaces and equipment.
