Skills for Londoners is the Mayor’s new scheme to equip Londoners with the skills London’s businesses need. We spoke to Mark Hilton from London First about why this matters to the organisation’s members…
What is London First?
London First is a not for profit, non-political, business-led body, with over 200 members across diverse business sectors as well as universities and colleges. We work with business leaders, local and national government to make London the best city in the world in which to do business.
Our priority is getting our capital Brexit-ready by 2019, for the benefit of the whole country. We’ve launched a skills commission, bringing together the voice and experience of business leaders, to both meet our capital’s skills needs, and get Londoners into work.
