In January 2022 the Mayor published his Skills Roadmap for London. The Roadmap sets the direction of travel for adult education in London over the Mayoral term and beyond, including future plans for the approximately £320 million per year Adult Education Budget (AEB). The Roadmap was developed based on extensive consultation with stakeholders, communities and businesses. The GLA engaged over 100 organisations through a written consultation and stakeholder roundtables, including local authorities, learning providers and employers and businesses. The GLA also captured the views of almost 1000 Londoners from key target groups through community conversations hosted by community organisations across London. The GLA also produced an Equality Impact Assessment alongside the final Skills Roadmap to show how equality groups and equalities impacts were considered in the development of the Roadmap (Equality groups are groups who share a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.)
