Business, Jobs and Training

The Business, Jobs and Training Partnership (BJTP) is responsible for improving employment opportunities and economic development within Islington. The group aligns funding from a number of sources – including Local Area Agreement (LAA) and London Development Agency (LDA) funding. It uses this to commission a variety of projects to tackle worklessness, local skills development and promote economic activity. This includes funding for key regeneration service economic development work.

The work of the BJTP is led and managed by the council’s regeneration service and includes members from

• London Enterprise and Skills Council

• London Development Agency

• Job Centre Plus

• Business Link London

• City and Islington College

• Islington Council

• Voluntary sector partners

BJT has responsibility for a number of LAA indicators, mostly those that fall within the economic development and enterprise block of the LAA.
