The Greenwich Local Labour and Business (GLLaB) community outreach bus is one of the Council's innovative approaches to supporting local residents improve their skills to gain permanent employment.

About the bus

The service, which was launched in General Gordon Square on Tuesday (15 August), will help GLLaB services get out into the community, making it easier and more convenient for people to get the help and advice they need.

Residents who are looking for work, training or apprenticeship opportunities will be able to get on board for help with their job search, preparing CVs and interview techniques. They'll also be able to find out about job opportunities with local employers from GLLaB staff.
