Olympic Park in London is set to be redeveloped after the Games in 2012, which could mean there are job opportunities for workers on electrician training courses in the future.

Lord mayor of London Boris Johnson announced that the area will be renamed Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and will feature new homes and facilities.

The Olympic Park Legacy Committee pointed out that the project should create plenty of jobs, with some likely to go to technicians who have completed electrician training courses.

Mr Johnson described the current plans as "ambitious" and claimed no single district of the capital has received such a comprehensive reimagining since Georgian times.

He said: "This is deliberately designed to capture the most attractive features of the Georgian age, to ensure our own Elizabethan age sets London up for generations to come."

This week, the Olympic Delivery Authority announced that companies can now begin registering their interest in becoming a partner to the Olympic Village development.
