OxLEP Skills are heading off round the county this March with information for businesses looking for an innovative way to tackle recruitment and growth that puts them at the heart of their local community.
Would you like to find out how bringing young people into your business through work experience and longer-term industry placements can help you with recruitment and business growth?
You are invited to join us for breakfast, networking and to find out about support available to help you engage the workforce of the future.
The events see OxLEP Skills partnering with training providers and employers to give you the opportunity to hear first-hand from employers who provide industry placements, learners who have benefitted from them and the support available to you from training providers to introduce a placement into your business.
Engaging the workforce of the future
"We take students on work experience placements. If we can start building a relationship from that point in time, potentially we’ve got a workforce for the future." Simon Howick, Managing Director, Oxford Direct Services
