Block Our Three Skills Programmes

Our Three Skills Programmes

Places for London is a property company with a social conscious, and we want to make sure that Londoners feel the benefit of our activities. Our mission is simple: remove barriers, provide skills and support, and ensure London’s workforce represents the rich diversity of our city. We’ve designed three programmes to make sure Londoners get access to the opportunities created across our estate.

I started out thinking I’d just be labouring, but now I’m a hoist driver and I’ve got my sights set on becoming a crane operator, maybe even a site supervisor one day. The support I received made a huge difference.
