Greater London Authority
& Think Employment Partnership
Providing London's workforce with education and skills
The Greater London Authority (GLA), established in 2000, is responsible for the strategic governance of the 32 boroughs and the City of London. Led by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, the GLA’s mission is to create a fairer, more sustainable, and economically resilient city that meets the needs of all its residents.
At Think Employment, we’re proud to partner with the GLA to realise this vision. We deliver government-funded, Ofsted-approved courses that empower individuals and elevate industries.
A hub of opportunity and diversity
Greater London, the UK’s largest region with nearly nine million residents, boasts a young and vibrant workforce, approximately 67% of the working-age population. As a hub for job creation, the city hosts over 600,000 small- to medium-sized enterprises and a range of global corporations. However, Greater London faces significant challenges, including youth unemployment that is higher than the national average, social inequality, limited access to education for underserved communities, high competition for skilled positions, income inequality, and regional variations in education levels.
