How do I get started?
To become an apprentice, you will need to apply for an apprenticeship job vacancy or speak to a business and have them take you on as an apprentice.
We can support you through this process helping you with CV writing, interview tips and speaking to the business about the benefits of employing an apprentice.
We work with hundreds of employers every year developing vacancies and helping them recruit a workforce that will boost their business.
We specialise in a wide range of apprenticeships in construction, engineering, motor vehicle, marine, digital technology, catering, hair, early years, business, accounting and more across Cornwall and Devon.

If anyone is unsure on what to do, I would recommend looking at apprenticeships, especially through Cornwall Colleges. They’ll give you everything you need and all the support you’ll ever need.
