To give a sense of the kind of data YouGov will be offering and to show how it might be useful, they’ve taken a look at the central London constituency of Bermondsey and Old Southwark. It is where their launch event took place last night (on HMS Belfast), and is also the home of City Hall, the office of Mayor Boris Johnson.
Are you a young person who lives in the borough of Southwark and aged 11 to 19?
We want you to submit a creative piece of work telling us your story about your housing experience. All entries must be submitted with an official entry form. You can download it here or email community.engagement@southwark.gov.uk for more information.
Your creative piece could be a written story, poem, artwork, photography, a rap or piece of spoken word. It’s up to you.
The closing date for your entry is midnight, 31 January 2015.
We will be unable to return any entries but they can be collected at the end of our free ticketed event on 20 February 2015.
Berkeley Group Construction Opportunities
As part of its significant activities, the Berkeley Group, one of the largest property development companies in London and the South East, http://www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/, has a Foundation that amongst other things, aims to ensure that 250 unemployed Londoners a year gain employment, both directly within the Berkeley Group, but also within its extensive supply chain.
We assist the Berkeley Foundation by finding candidates for specific sectors that they recruit to. On this occasion, we are looking for excellent candidates that are looking to secure a career within the construction industry. Individuals can:
· Be looking for their first job within the sector (they will likely have had at least some taster training or informal experience)
· Be looking for an apprenticeship in any of the construction disciplines
· Have completed college courses with NVQ/City & Guilds certification
· Have existing experience in a particular trade and be looking to return to the construction sector
Candidates must be aged 16-24, live in Southwark and be unemployed, with no work or study commitments.
Candidates must also:
· Have good communication skills
· Have researched the Berkeley Group before they are telephone screened
· Be fully committed to the realities of working on site (early starts, all weather working)
· Be capable of passing a drugs test
· Be committed to working within the construction industry for the long term
A valid CSCS card would be a great advantage for candidates at any level.

Getting into television can seem almost impossible on so many different levels. While the application and interview process can be notoriously challenging and competitive, it can be just as hard to even find those opportunities to apply for in the first place! As a new entrant, it’s not easy to work out which companies take on trainees, apprentices and interns, and if so, at what time of year and how to apply. And what if you love telly, are full of ideas and know you’ve got the right attitude, but don’t have any experience? Where can you get a chance to try things out and find out where your strengths and interests lie?
These are the questions we’re aiming to help you answer on Monday 26 January, when we’ll be hosting the first ever RTS Futures Training Fair. For one evening, we’ll be bringing together under one roof a formidable range of organisations offering entry routes into telly, all keen to meet you! Confirmed exhibitors include the BBC, Channel 4, Creative Access, Discovery, Disney, ITV, Latimer Group, Mama Youth, Media Trust/London 360, The Network, Procam, RDF, Roundhouse/Bloomberg, Sara Putt Associates and Sky, with possibly a few more exciting names to join.
IMPORTANT : It is free to attend this fair however you must register as an RTS Member using your membership number before booking your ticket. Membership of the RTS is also free. Follow the advice and links, complete the application process and book your attendance. Follow @RTS_Futures on Twitter & hashtag #RTSCareers
