The mission of the Good Growth Hub is simple: use the very best ideas, people and practices to become a national leader in bringing opportunities for young people. Or, as we like to call it, Inclusive Good Growth. We celebrate diversity in every sense, from neurodiversity to gender to race and stand to give everyone the tools they need to pursue their passions. Inclusive Good Growth drives the work we do and is the value we share with all of the businesses we collaborate with. Our vision is to see East London’s¢ young people thrive and businesses grow thanks to the work that we do together. 

Situated right in the heart of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the space is part of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC)’s plan to make sure businesses are tapping into local talent. The LLDC teamed up with A New Direction who run the Hub and bring this initiative to life for both young people and employers. 

Young people can take advantage of the paid opportunities we publicise, the support we give to freelancers and start-ups, and the industry connections we help foster through mentoring and networking, as well as sector specific careers advice and coaching. At the Good Growth Hub, all internship opportunities pay at least the London Living Wage – but we strive for higher. 

The Good Growth Hub is an excellent resource for businesses to establish good working standards and become more inclusive. Employers can both nurture and draw from a talent pipeline that’s eager to show what they can do. We’re always looking for like-minded businesses to partner with us as mentors, speakers and advisors.
