LOCOG's Commercial Partner Adecco will support LOCOG on meeting Diversity & Inclusion commitments as well as supporting local employment initiatives. LOCOG have agreed an engagement model with the boroughs to better enable local residents to apply for LOCOG jobs. LOCOG have met all of the local labour brokerages and good working relationships have now been established with each of these. Job Centre Plus (JCP) continues to submit candidates against LOCOG opportunities and the relationship has been further embedded through the secondment of a JCP employee in LOCOG's Diversity & Inclusion team. LOCOG also have a secondee from Tower Hamlets leading on outreach initiatives in the local communities. LOCOG have employed a skills forecasting person whose focus is to identify key skill requirements required at Games time, identifying labour market issues for each of the major categories as well as indicating particular skills gaps. The final recommendations and summary report will be made available in early 2010, along with the first draft of Games time workforce. Complete
