2012 Olympics

The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games is an incredible opportunity for UK businesses

The Government plans to use the 2012 Games as a catalyst to create sustainable job opportunities in all sectors and regions. In London alone, the aim is to bring 70,000 people into sustainable employment, including 20,000 in the 5 host boroughs.

The games offer a great chance to stimulate the number of people entering work and increasing their skills across the UK.

’Springboard for Success’ provides a brief guide for employers on how to:

  • bid for Olympics contracts through CompeteFor
  • access Government help to recruit new staff through Jobcentre Plus; and
  • access brokerage advice and training funds to train their workforce through Train to Gain.
