What is the Mayor’s Green Skills Academy for Local London?
We are a a hub providing opportunities for Londoners to access good ‘green’ jobs and training. It seeks to engage new employers, attract learners into training and education and see Londoners progress into work placements, employment, or apprenticeships. The Green Skills sector is a key priority, in a bid to transform British industries in line with the Government’s Net Zero target of 2050.
The project objectives of the Mayor’s Green Skills Academy for Local London are:
- To support Londoners into work
- To support underrepresented groups
- To raise the profile of the sector
- To highlight routes into the sector
Local London encompasses the boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Bromley, Enfield, Greenwich, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, and Waltham Forest.
The colleges in our partnership, who provide the courses attached to the Mayor’s Academy, are:
