Reciprocate ‘human library’: school students and businesses meet

Our next Reciprocate event is the chance for business people to enthuse secondary school students about their industry.

The session on 25th April 2019 will be a ‘human library’ – where you are the books! Small groups of students will rotate around the room and speak to companies on a 121 basis about what they do and what sorts of skills they need. This could lead to rewarding work experience opportunities for the students, and a chance for you to shape the workforce of the future. This morning event will be run by OxLEP and is kindly hosted by Blenheim Palace.

Before this event businesspeople are welcome to join an OxLEP Q&A and breakfast happening in the adjoining room, which will explore the topic: Oxfordshire 2040 and Generation Z: Are education providers and young people set for the ‘jobs of tomorrow’? This will include the presentation of OxLEP’s Local Industrial Strategy.

If you would like to take part in the human library, please contact Susan Ledgard-Hoile at Susan.Ledgard-Hoile@oxfordshirelep.com.
