Preparing young people in London for the workplace

Our careers and employability programme aims to improve careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) to meet employers’ needs and to better equip young people in London for working environments.

Funded by the European Social Fund and the Greater London Authority, we are working to deliver the Career Cluster with 15 schools and colleges, alongside local businesses and employers. LMP supports young people to develop their vital employability skills and work readiness, through meaningful employer engagement and work opportunities, whilst also supporting schools and businesses to develop long-term and sustained relationships.

The programme

The programme is designed to facilitate sustainable relationships between local schools/colleges and employers/higher education institutions to support pupils and share good practice and resources, particularly to those with higher levels of need.

Through better career support and guidance, more students will be able to take the next step in their career and fulfil their potential in the transition from school to work or higher education.
