What we do
Employment & Skills
TOTTENHAM WORKS
Tottenham Hotspur has created 2,726 new jobs for local people as a direct result of its ongoing new stadium development scheme and sport-led regeneration of the area.
Since 2013, the Club and its Foundation have worked in partnership with Haringey Council and the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure as many jobs as possible emerging from the development have gone to local residents.
To date, the partnership has successfully engaged with employers to ensure job vacancies are open to local people and has actively worked with individuals across the community to help with CVs, support the application process and provide access to training and employment opportunities.
The Foundation has helped place Haringey residents within jobs across a wide range of industries associated with the stadium development, including construction, IT, hospitality, security and retail.
