Employment Strategy

break

Regeneration projects are creating thousands of jobs in Newham and the wider Thames Gateway.

Newham's Employment Strategy (summary) sets out the framework for ensuring that more Newham residents access these jobs and remain in employment. Our vision is to develop Newham into a borough where residents can be independent through employment.

The summary introduces the objectives, key initiatives and key principles of the Employment Strategy, which can be shared by all partners involved in assisting Newham residents into work.

Our target is to raise the local Employment Rate to meet the current Inner London average by 2012.

For a full length version of this strategy, incorporating the statistical evidence base and associated strategies and frameworks, please contact the Access to Jobs team.
