The Observatory has set up a Practice and Research Forum for 2011 and beyond.
The Forum is intended as a meeting place for people interested in the delivery of employment and skills in London. It will aim to build a shared understanding of ways in which organisations in London are working in the employment and skills fields. There will be roundtable discussions and presentations from industry experts on topics such as youth unemployment and the Work Programme.
