Apprenticeships
The South West’s top performing college for apprenticeships
The Cornwall College Group is thrilled to introduce an exciting opportunity to explore the world of sustainable construction, all tailored for students aged 14-16 – the Green Skills Construction Pathway.
What’s New?
Green Skills Pathway: Dive into the world of sustainable building practices which are essential for our planet. Young people can sample the world of sustainable construction, learn about renewable energy right here in Cornwall or the new developments in renewable tech happening right now, whilst taking part in exciting experiments.
Locations: Previously only available at our Camborne site, these workshops can now also be accessed at our St Austell campus. This makes it easier for more learners to get involved, especially in areas where opportunities are needed the most.
