What is Capital Talent?As an exhibitor you will join top employers, trainers and advisers from across London meeting thousands potential recruits. This is your opportunity to influence and promote your organisation to the capital’s workforce. Capital Talent is London’s one-stop shop for jobs and careers from across the capital. It will give you the opportunity to advance your recruitment process. Whether you are at the initial stages of your campaign and deciding your objectives; are already aware of your requirements and person specifications; or are calling potential recruits to open days: Capital Talent will complement your existing work.

Through the work of London First for the London Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) on the Economic Development Agenda for London, we know lower skilled workers are not benefiting from London’s growth and are likely to be further squeezed.

Prospects’ experience delivering career guidance across London shows adults find it hard to meet with employers and explore opportunities for career progression and career change.

Capital Talent is vital to support adults into work and encourage those in work who wish to up skill and develop their careers.

The event runs on Friday and Saturday allowing a range of visitors to attend that need to visit outside of working hours.Our research findings indicate:

• London is increasingly moving towards a high skilled global talent hub

• As high-skilled jobs are growing we must ensure Londoners have the skills necessary to ensure the Capital remains competitive
