The BuildLondon Team
We provide the construction industry with the skilled workers it needs, and provide people with the opportunity to work with major construction and infrastructure projects in their communities.
BuildLondon is the only London-wide, specialist construction industry brokerage, offering an unrivalled and unique network of partners – including contractors, employers, local authorities, colleges, employment support schemes and diversity initiatives.
We aim to support communities, promote diversity in construction and enable people to train, upskill or reskill in the construction sector to help address existing and future skills gaps. We work with training colleges, skills providers and apprenticeship schemes to promote opportunities for trainees, and can also work with Local Authority employment schemes to add value through workshops or specialist training.
BuildLondon works closely with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and JobCentrePlus. We aim to give careers in construction a greater level of visibility amongst communities through presence at employment and skills events and, by helping to promote a positive image of construction, to encourage greater interest in careers in the sector.
SkillsPlanner is an innovative approach to solving skills shortages, backed by some of the UK’s largest employers and industry leaders. A £1.3m EthosVO initiative, funded by Innovate UK and partners, SkillsPlanner will be a live, user-friendly, open data platform that will allow employers, skills providers and other stakeholders to share past, present and future skills data. SkillsPlanner will integrate and interpret this information to allow stakeholders to plan for and meet current and future employment requirements.
Get in touch to find out how we can work with you too.
* figures include those achieved by the Crossrail brokerage
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.
