An independent evaluation today highlights that employment project ’Getting London Working’ delivered by Tomorrow’s People proved nearly twice as successful as other work-based programmes, with 80% of participants still being in work a year on.

In addition, Danny Alexander also referred to the findings during a Parliamentary debate on Jobcentre Plus (13 July).

"Although the Government state that most contracts are for two or three years, many are still for one year only. In any case, two or three years may be too short a period. I recently spoke at an event sponsored by the organisation Tomorrow’s People, which it was running as part of its getting London working programme. It had secured funding for six years through the London Development Agency and the single regeneration budget. During that time, it achieved, pound for pound, double the job outcomes of any other SRB-funded programme nationally."
