The Legacy Careers Project is delivered in East London schools, getting young people thinking about their careers, broaden their horizons and give them the confidence, skills and motivation to start to plan their futures.
Appointed to lead a consortium of partners by the London Legacy Development Corporation, we enable businesses operating in and around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to shape careers information, advice and guidance in schools, by linking IAG to real jobs that will be generated and to real students who may go into these jobs.
