Supporting residents into work and training

Unemployment in Tower Hamlets is over double the national rate. Child poverty is strongly linked with families being out of work and we know that poverty affects health, education and crime – so finding work is the key to positive results in a range of areas.

Research shows that concern over lack of jobs has increased and is now the second most common concern for residents.

Examples of the kind of actions we will deliver are:

• Host a Skillsmatch advice session to help residents into work and training
• Work with the East London Business Alliance to bring jobs and training to our residents
• Attract one additional employment advisor/broker to deliver outreach advice sessions for residents from a local venue
