Skills, Employment and Enterprise of Oxfordshire’s Ethnic Minority Communities

In early 2021, (following publication of the OxLEP Skills Local Skills Report and Plan, March 2021) OxLEP Skills commissioned a data review and report on the skills, employment and enterprise of Oxfordshire’s ethnic minority communities in order to:

• inform OxLEP’s work on skills;
• feed into the Local Industrial Strategy and the Economic Recovery plan and
• inform the January 2022 review of the Local Skills Report and Plan.

This report has been prepared by Oxfordshire County Council’s data and analytics team with research, data analysis and reporting by Margaret Melling and Alick Bird. Project steering was by Oxfordshire County Council data analytics and OxLEP. Peer Review was partnered by colleagues from Brookes University, University of Oxford, Department for Work and Pensions, Policy Group for Poverty, Families and Disadvantage and The High Sheriff of Oxfordshire.

At this event, Margaret and Alick will talk you through the key findings of the report.
