Minutes:
The Revenues & Benefits Programme Manager introduced the report which sought approval to deliver a project supporting young people into employment, education or training subject to securing funding from the European Structural & Investment Fund. He explained that this was a key project as the unemployment level for under 25s in the county remained relatively high at 4% compared to the overall unemployment level of 1%.
The Board Member for Customer and Corporate Services said that this was a good example of how the City was working with the District Councils to deliver a co-ordinated support service.
The City Executive Board resolved to:
1. Grant project approval to allow the Oxford City Council to deliver support for young people into employment, education or training, subject to securing the necessary funding from the European Structural and Investment Fund, as outlined in the report.

Minutes:
The Revenues & Benefits Programme Manager presented the report. The Executive Board Member, Customer and Corporate Services was also present to answer the Committee’s questions.
In discussion the Committee noted that:
· the unemployment level for under 25s in the county remained relatively high at 4% compared to the overall unemployment level of 1%
· this would be a county wide service and an important example of how the local authorities could work together with partner organisations
· the County Council had elected not to bid in its own right but to participate as a partner organisation
· there was scope to change partners during the bid process
· the project focus was on getting people into work; there were no formal measures to track the longer term success and sustainability of those positions but the Council would be aiming to identify sustainable outcomes
The Committee NOTED the report and confirmed their support for the bid.
