JobTown Lead Expert Ian Goldring gave a speech, November 22nd, promoting JobTown at a London event on youth employment – the NORTH LONDON STRATEGIC ALLIANCE & ACEVO NORTH LONDON JOBS SUMMIT.

Other participants included high profile British political figures, such as David Miliband, and representatives of local authorities across North London. Participants expressed interest in following the developments of the network and its eventual outputs.
ACEVO (Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations) sponsored an important commission and report, chaired by David Miliband, on youth unemployment in the UK.

The report, 'Youth Unemployment: the Crisis We Cannot Afford', was referenced in the JobTown Baseline Study and is available here: http://www.cesi.org.uk/sites/default/files/event_downloads/ACEVO_report.pdf
