Introduction
The Council is at the earliest stages of seeking a partner who can support us in defining this project and finding solutions. We are looking to build local resilience, to up skill the residents of the North East Cambridge area to allow them to take advantage of any and all employment opportunities this development may offer. In order to understand how, at the end of the project, we have supported the local communities we need to understand the ‘where we are now’ picture and to see if there are obvious areas of supporting the growing need for employment. At the end of the project we would want to be able to demonstrate the upskilling that has taken place, demonstrate a reduction in unemployment, growth in work force flexibility, as well as understanding any ongoing training required or other metrics that are applicable to this project to ensure , if possible, that positive outcomes are embedded in the locale.
