Representatives from some of the biggest planned projects for the county - among them the multi-billion-pound London Resort and Lower Thames Crossing - are set to take part in a free webinar later this month.

Held by the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) the webinar has invited figures from the schemes, along with representatives from Ebbsfleet Garden City, to provide updates on what are expected to be some of the biggest job-creating schemes.

The webinar, called Major Projects, Major Growth, Major Opportunity, will take place at 10am on Wednesday May 26 on Zoom.

Attendees will be able to hear from these projects directly and pose questions via a panel and Q&A.

There will also be an update on a report that is currently being developed by South East LEP to capture and plot the skills needs of these projects collectively in the coming years.

SELEP skills advisory panel (SAP) chair, Helen Clements, said: “We are lucky to have such an impressive range of major projects and investments taking place in the South East, which will provide jobs for residents, attract the best talent and bolster our area’s skilled workforce. We’re looking forward to hearing from these projects about how their progress is going, and what opportunities will be available in the coming months and years.

“Many of these projects are creating new opportunities for adults, our young workers and school leavers, with extensive apprenticeship programmes and a wide range of jobs in fields and industries that are experiencing high growth in the South East, such as energy and construction.”
