London 2012 'will provide a massive jobs boost for IT contractors'
London's Olympic Games will provide a massive jobs boost for IT contractors, it has been claimed.
The size of the project means that staff numbers will need to increase from the 700 currently needed to over 200,000 by the time the event begins, according to the Recruitment & Employment Confederation.
In addition, there are plans for a post-Games outplacement programme, helping to find jobs for IT contractors who have worked on the event.
REC Technology chairman Jeff Brooks welcomed the commitment that the organisers were showing to local employment opportunities, adding that the REC would help them to deliver on these promises.
"We already know that technology is an important tool in the delivery of services in most organisations and it was great to see how London 2012 is thinking ahead to manage the challenges the Games will bring," he said.
The London Games started its two-year countdown, with Olympic medallists such as Chris Hoy meeting at the new Olympic Stadium to mark the event.
