Borough ESF Technical Assistance

The London 2007-13 ESF programme has £370m available for projects focused on ‘extending employment opportunities’ and ‘developing a skilled and adaptable workforce’.

Although there is a real opportunity for London’s boroughs to access funding from this programme, the specifications that are advertised are now often very large and it can be difficult for boroughs to access ESF.

GLE provides intensive support to help boroughs take full advantage of the ESF funds available in London, including help to:

• review opportunities;
• identify partners;
• share information about existing provision; and
• access funding.
