Details
This call invites Outline Applications which support the delivery of Priority Axis 1, Investment Priority 1.1: Access to Employment for Jobseekers and Inactive People.
One of the headline priorities to 2020 in the Oxfordshire Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) is addressing exclusion from the labour market by helping young people and adults marginalised or disadvantaged from work. One of the actions identified in the SEP is to meet this priority through Community Employment Plans which will support local people to access jobs through measures such as apprenticeships and training schemes, and links with schools and colleges.
Over the life of the project, activities will focus on support for long-term unemployed so they can compete effectively in accessing training and jobs related to strategic development sites, such as Westgate Shopping Centre at Botley, the Orchard Shopping Centre expansion at Didcot and others related to the logistics sector in Oxfordshire, as well as in the social care sector where there are significant recruitment and retention issues. Examples of types of provision include pre-employment training; preparation for apprenticeships, and help for people both pre and post Work Programme.
