Chairman of the New Oxfordshire Learning & Skills Partnership.
John Knights has been appointed Chairman of the New Oxfordshire Learning & Skills Partnership. The Partnership will address the distinct needs of improving:
- The output of the education system.
- The impact of workforce development.
- The capability of those not in employment.
- Health and well being and the support for those with disabilities into the work place.
In pursuit of creating / maintaining a world class economy in Oxfordshire, the vision for the Oxfordshire Economic Partnership (of which John is a Director representing the Institute of Directors), the OLSP aims to provide the learning infrastructure necessary to deliver highly skilled and motivated people who can make a contribution to their communities in whatever field of endeavour they choose.
The partnership is about joining up the thinking in education, business and health by focusing on an inclusive shared vision of a successful balanced economy. This aspiration can best be realised through bringing together the individuals and organisations that have the drive to tear down the silos and work together to create a strategy for developing people who can achieve more than their obvious potential.
John stated, “The success of this venture ultimately depends on changing the attitudes and behaviours throughout society; from young school children to organisational leaders. It is about developing emotional as well as rational intelligence and bringing to the surface the good values that people have within them.”
