The Grangegorman Development Agency working with the Employment and Training Co-ordinator and the Local Labour and Learning Forum has developed and implemented a Grangegorman Employment Charter. The aim of the Charter is to ensure that the local community benefits from employment opportunities that may arise from the Grangegorman project. The Charter sets out what is required of Contractors and Sub-Contractors in respect of employing local labour on the site. The Charter also sets how this will be monitored and reported on. All Contractors and Sub-Contractors who are awarded contracts will be briefed to ensure that they have a clear understanding of what is required of them in terms of reporting, including forward planning, and that they identify potential jobs that they will be recruiting locally for.

The Grangegorman Development Agency wants to ensure as far as possible that the project makes a real contribution to the structural and social regeneration of

the local community contributing to a sustainable future for local people and businesses.
