Concerned about the Skills Shortages in your Business?

Banbury College, part of Activate Learning, hosted an event for local members of the Banbury Chamber of Commerce, giving them the opportunity to discuss their concerns about skills shortages for businesses in the region.

After an introduction to the Local Skills Improvement Plan for Oxfordshire we heard from two local employers Mike Hirons from Produce Warriors and Tracey Thomas from Cherwell District Council.  They gave great insight into the challenges for both small and large organisations of recruiting and retaining talent within north Oxfordshire.

There was healthy debate and discussion on future skills needs and the importance of greater collaboration between education providers and employers to help address skills gaps and understanding of the education landscape.
