good growth hub
London
Our mission is simple: use the very best ideas, people and practices to become a
national leader in bringing opportunities for young people. Or, as we like to
call it, Good Growth. We celebrate diversity in every sense, from neurodiversity
to gender to race and stand to give everyone the tools they need to pursue their
passions. Good Growth drives the work we do and is the value we share with all
of the businesses we collaborate with. Our vision is to see east London’s young
people thrive and businesses grow thanks to the work that we do together.
Situated right in the heart of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the space is
part of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC)’s plan to make sure
businesses are tapping into local talent. The LLDC teamed up with A New
Direction who run the Hub and bring this initiative to life for both young
people and employers. Young people can take advantage of the paid opportunities
we publicise, the support we give for freelancers and start-ups, and industry
connections we help foster through mentoring and networking, as well as sector
specific careers advice and coaching. At the Good Growth Hub, all internship
opportunities pay at least the London Living Wage of £11.95 per hour – but we
strive for higher. For businesses, the Good Growth Hub is an excellent resource
to establish good working standards and to become more inclusive. Employers are
able to both nurture and draw from a talent pipeline that’s eager to show what
they can do. We’re always on the lookout for like-minded businesses to partner
with us as mentors, speakers and advisors. So, whether you’re a business, a
young person or just someone who shares our passion for Good Growth, we’d love
to have you involved.
