Cornwall College Group has opened applications for the 2026 Apprenticeship Games, returning to Cornwall College Camborne on 11 February during National Apprenticeship Week.
Supported by headline sponsor Cornwall Opportunities, the annual competition brings together teams from leading Devon and Cornwall employers to compete in a day of practical, technical and creative challenges. The winning team will be crowned Apprenticeship Team of the Year, continuing a tradition that has become a major date in the regional apprenticeship calendar.
“The Games give apprentices the chance to test their skills, represent their employers and connect with peers from across the region,” said Teresa Copping, Head of Apprenticeships at Cornwall College Group.
“Every year the competition grows, and 2026 will bring fresh challenges designed to showcase ability, teamwork and confidence.”
Teams will complete a series of interactive tasks, drawing on technical knowledge, communication and leadership. Previous editions have included activities from mocktail making and E-sports to choreographed dance offs and tractor driving challenges.
Teresa added: “Apprenticeship training plays a key role in building our regions workforce. The Games celebrate that commitment and highlight the talent emerging across our sectors.”
Last year’s champion team, A&P Falmouth, will return to defend their title as entries open to organisations across the region.
Employers can submit teams from today. You can also contact your Apprenticeship Advisor or email events@cornwall.ac.uk for support with registering.
