jobs & skills at meridian water

To enable upskilling and training of the construction workforce, and provide opportunities to local and London residents, the Council, in partnership with Vistry Partnerships (the developers for Meridian One) and Capital City College Group (CCCG), launched a Skills Academy at Meridian Water in 2023. Supporting unemployed residents and those on skilled trade apprenticeships, the aim of the Skills Academy is to provide training and certification appropriate for entry level opportunities across construction and built environment, create pathways to higher level training, and upskill existing workforce within the construction supply chain companies. Training is instrumental in transforming and rebalancing the Edmonton economy to make it resilient to disruptions such as COVID-19 or technological change, and the Skills Academy is an integral part of that process.
