The Crossrail Legacy
BuildLondon was established to ensure that the original centralised brokerage service created by Crossrail in partnership with JobCentrePlus continues but on a wider scale.
Crossrail has created over 4,500 job for local and unemployed people along its route, and supported over 550 apprenticeships. The Crossrail jobs brokerage service, in partnership with the Dept. of Work & Pensions and contractors, has been integral to this success and developed initiatives to improve diversity and encourage more young and under-represented groups into construction.
As Crossrail nears completion, this brokerage service has converted to BuildLondon, led by Ethos, to provide continuity and sustainability.
