Negotiating the Citizens Agenda for Wages, Training and Employment

Summary

Ensuring that local people benefited from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games was a key bid commitment. The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) worked with London Citizens to embed the London Living Wage (LLW) into the procurement policy, ensure 20 per cent of all jobs created were reserved for local residents, and establish a skills academy.
