What is Help Build London? Over the next five years construction employment in London is forecast to grow. This is mainly due to major infrastructure projects such as Crossrail 2 and the Thames Tideway Tunnel. Other major regeneration projects that are already underway include Silvertown Quays and Croydon Town Centre. This will provide job opportunities not just for skilled trades but also for project managers, technical and IT staff, administrative and HR roles as well as catering services.

What is provided: One-to-one advice and guidance on career options, job search and CV production, referrals into learning and work placements, a Job Brokerage Service promoting local jobs for local people, Work Clubs for networking/supported job search.

Volunteering opportunities come in many shapes and sizes. Some volunteer a few hours regularly, others when called upon by an organisation. You can volunteer in their neighbourhood, online or in other countries.

Automation is set to cause significant disruption to London’s labour market. 65% of employers say automation will change skill needs and will therefore change many jobs rather than replace them.

• The rise of automation is to help improve efficiency

• To reduce costs

• Improve flexibility

• Provide a 24-hour service and manage information
