Review of 5 Borough LETF Programme .

Renaisi was employed, in a commission led by Rob Pearce, Director of Strategy, to assess and review the progress of the Local Employment Training Framework (LETF) programmes in the 5 Olympic Host Boroughs.

The 5 Borough Unit has been allocated £9.6 million of LDA funding up to December 2009 via LETF to support training and employment programmes delivered through each local area. Each borough has its own job’s brokerage which is designed to get local people into jobs on the Olympic site.

It does this by skilling up residents to meet the requirements of Olympic related jobs through appropriate training; by boosting the capacity of staff working in the jobs brokerages to ensure that they are able to successfully identify candidates suitable for Olympics related jobs and provide the necessary support and guidance; as well as marketing and promotion of the programmes, activities and services offered by each of the brokerages to ensure residents are aware of the opportunities. The purpose of the commission was to review performance of the programme so far and to come forward with options to ensure that access to opportunities for local people are as extensive as possible and to identify good practice.
