Creating opportunities for skills, learning and local employment

We are committed to embedding local impact throughout everything that happens at Stratford Junction.

Through our new Innovation Hub, Stratford Junction will connect local people to new routes into work and training by supporting direct access to the ground-breaking activities emerging across the site.

This space will include a variety of studios, workshop space, creator spaces, and real paid creative commissions, alongside a dedicated employment and skills hub which will help turn opportunity into careers.
