Community Employment Plans (CEPs) are employer-led initiatives that aim to enable better access to job and training opportunities for local people. The goal is to maximize the benefits from the developments by creating employment and training opportunities for local residents.
A lack of access to job and training opportunities for local people is a barrier to developing an inclusive economy where everyone has an opportunity to engage in meaningful employment.
Community Employment Plans (CEPs) aim to enable better access to job and training opportunities for local people. Across Oxfordshire, there are multiple large-scale infrastructure projects being developed or planned. To maximise the benefits from the developments, we offer guidance and support to implement CEPs. These are led through the development of employer-led initiatives called Community Employment Plans (CEPs). CEPs are employer-led initiatives which can form part of Section 106 planning obligations for significant developments. Each Local Planning Authority in Oxfordshire has their own Local Plan. We aim to support major developers and employers in creating their CEP alongside district Economic Development Leads.
