The centre's mission is to relieve the poverty of the unemployed who are in need in the London Borough of Hackney particularly and the wider community through the provision of advice and vocational training and to assist them into gainful employment.

Since 1993 UXL has advised residents and businesses in Hackney in all matters relating to career and personal development. In 1996 we started training courses for the long-term unemployed in IT.

As demand grew the services expanded to Sound Engineering training for the young people aged 16-24 years and thereafter PC maintenance and networking, Cisco CCNA, CompTIA A+, PC Support and Systems Technology, Basic Skills and English for Speakers of Other Languages for all ages.

Other programs include coaching and mentoring local business managers, carrying out training needs assessment and drawing up customised training plans.

These main programs decant their clients into UXL Recruitment, which assist people into employment free of charge.

The Board
The Board is the ultimate decision making body of UXL. The Board keeps the strategic direction of UXL under review, supported by our director and manager.
