Government action to help ensure that people from deprived areas of the UK benefit from the skills legacy of the 2012 games includes a programme of activity with Sector Skills Councils to deliver the games’ future skills needs, such as:
Construction Skills—coordinating research and delivery of constructions training where none exists.
People 1st—developing a National Hospitality Skills Academy and UK Skills Passport, which will raise standards of skills and training across the hospitality and tourism industries.
GoSkills—established an employer's forum to discuss and plan transport requirements for the games.
This activity will be complemented by work in the English regions and devolved Administrations, who are producing their own strategies to maximise the games’ skills impact. The London Employment and Skills Taskforce Action Plan was launched in October. In addition, the Olympic Delivery Authority intends to make clear its commitment to requiring and encouraging its suppliers to operate with a competent work force.
