Up to 14,000 people will be employed at the peak of construction between 2013 and 2015 according to Crossrail’s Skills and Employment Strategy which was launched recently.
The Strategy sets out how local people will be provided with opportunities to work on the construction of Crossrail.
Crossrail has also announced its partnership with Jobcentre Plus which aims to provide local people with opportunities to work on the Crossrail project.
JCP works with a network of local job brokerage and outreach agencies to match vacancies to suitable candidates and arrange interviews for short-listed applicants.
By 2026, Crossrail is expected to support the creation of around 30,000 jobs in central London
Transport Minister Theresa Villiers said: "Crossrail will be more than a world-class railway - for tens of thousands of people it could be the route to a successful career."
