MERIDIAN
WATER
The projects aims to offer higher skilled and better paid employment opportunities for local people. We will develop a series of employment offers across the site, attracting major employers as well as start-ups, including the meanwhile uses and the creation of workspaces for makers, creators and artists.
Opportunities for construction related businesses
There will also be many opportunities for local construction related businesses during the build programme. The Council is looking to encourage as many local businesses to be part of the supply chain or the supply chain of our partners, ensuring we gain social value for the Enfield residents.
To enable upskilling and training of the construction workforce, and provide opportunities to local and London residents, The Council, in partnership with Vistry (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 technological change, and the Skills Academy is an integral part of that process.
