Lewisham deserves a change. Read what Duwayne Brooks will do to promote jobs and opportunity after he is elected.
Promote Jobs and Opportunity
• Get local people into work by creating 2,000 new jobs, apprenticeships and training opportunities.
• Offer specific training opportunities for the over 50s and long term unemployed to boost their social capital and chances of finding meaningful work. Too many people in this borough have lost hope. It's time to change that.
• Look at different ways to increase support for those on apprenticeships run by private companies who are paid less than the minimum wage.
• Make available office space wasted by this Council to small businesses and voluntary organisations.
• Amalgamate the many mentoring schemes run in this borough to improve participation and positive outcomes.
