Oxfordshire’s ‘innovation ecosystem’ is world-leading, with robotics, power engineering and space science just some of these new and emerging sectors. The Culham Science Centre-based Oxfordshire Advanced Skills (OAS) have utilised funding secured by OxLEP to support the future career prospects of ambitious apprentices across these specialisms – and beyond.
OxLEP secured Local Growth Fund investment towards OAS’s smart factory system, the Cyber-Physical Factory. The investment is working to enhance the experience for OAS’s cohort of apprentices, each training towards significant careers in engineering-related companies through OAS’s apprenticeship provision.
The new addition offers further top-of-the-range engineering equipment to support OAS’s apprentices and their learning experiences.
