LDA: The London Development Agency (LDA) has announced a £23m programme of combined LDA and European Social Fund (ESF) funding to support the roll out of the LDA’s Personal Best scheme to all London Boroughs.  A series of support workshops will also take place in early December at venues across London to help guide applicants through the process.
 
In line with the Mayor’s policy to help Londoners to survive the economic downturn, the ESF co-financing programme will fund a range of activities including job search, careers advice, basic skills and in-work support to help Londoners get back into the labour market and develop the skills needed by London’s employers.
