What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are seeking partners to support in the delivery of supported internship and employability programmes to move a small number (circa. 15) of City of Oxford College learners with EHCPs into sustainable employment or volunteering opportunities in Oxfordshire. This provision will focus on developing young people's employment skills through intensive job coaching in the workplace and sourcing placement opportunities with employers. The provision will be co-delivered with the College who will undertake employability preparedness classroom provision for one day a week, with the successful partner co-ordinating, monitoring and supporting workplace development for four days a week.

The successful partner will need to work with us within the limitations of the 16-19 funding lagged funding formula whereby successful delivery in 25/26 will lead to lagged funding being received by all parties in 26/27.
