Personal Best
20,000 Londoners will get a major job boost as a direct result of staging the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, the Mayor announced today.
The Mayor was launching ‘Personal Best’, a landmark programme run by the London Development Agency (LDA) and the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), which will offer some of the city’s most disadvantaged the opportunity to develop a range of new skills. Formerly known as the Pre-Volunteer Programme, ‘Personal Best’ was trialled in 11 London Boroughs this year with 370 Londoners taking part. So far, 15% of those who took up the programme have moved into jobs, 42% have taken up further training and 33% have opted for volunteering opportunities. Closer to the time, graduates will also be offered an interview to become a volunteer at the London 2012 Games.
Graduates attended a special ceremony on the 29th October 2007 at Wembley Stadium where they were congratulated by the Mayor, Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell and Sebastian Coe Chair of the London 2012 Organising Committee.
