Our Approach

OxLEP Skills is here to help both young people and our business community fully-understand the importance of creating the right career pathways.

We do this by:

• Helping young people and schools to navigate around the variety of opportunities to available to them
• Supporting businesses to better understand how first-class training programmes and work experience can be of benefit to them long-term
• Creating stronger relationships between education providers and our business community

We have specialist teams working across key areas such as; apprenticeships, work experience and community employment plans. We also ensure that we take our knowledge and experience 'on the road' and oversee a programme of events right across the county, helping to connect young people with hundreds of Oxfordshire businesses .

Events include a programme of school roadshows and the annual Careers Fest - which has helped to link thousands of young people with organisations over the past decade.
