Andrew Dismore
What action have you taken to address skills shortages which could hinder moves towards a low carbon future?
Written response from the Mayor
The London Enterprise Panel is currently reviewing the current and future skills needs of the capital and I expect them to report early in the new year with their findings and recommendations for action.
In addition, the LDA delivered the Retrofit Employer Accord Pilot (REAP) which was designed to link the employment opportunities arising from my carbon reduction programmes (RE:NEW & RE:FIT) to London’s long term workless. REAP provided employment support and bespoke training to 499 Londoners who were out of work. REAP delivery partners sourced alternative employment for their candidates.
