About Us
Our Impact
Enterprise Oxfordshire Skills aims to equip individuals and organisations across Oxfordshire with the skills they need to achieve their full potential.
The latest report from Enterprise Oxfordshire (formerly OxLEP) – which looks back on the last financial year between April 2023 and March 2024 – outlines the significant role and commitment we play in ensuring Oxfordshire has a healthy, thriving and inclusive economy.
The report reflects on the tailored business support delivered by Enterprise Oxfordshire, the commitment to ensuring we have a strong labour market and pipeline of talent in the county, as well as how the £1billion of funding we have helped to secure for Oxfordshire has made – and continues to make – a difference for our businesses and communities.
Below are some of the impacts Enterprise Oxfordshire Skills have achieved across Oxfordshire through our programmes.
