Careers Parents Zone

 
This section of our website is aimed at supporting parents and carers to access information to support young people with their career choices and future pathways. Below there are three useful sections: information about education options, types of jobs and local labour market information.

Good afternoon all,


I hope you enjoyed the Christmas break and happy new year to you all.


I wanted to share the news about the Cornwall opportunities launch which I think you should have all heard about already? I would recommend updating your websites with the resource and let parents, carers, students and teachers know about the site.

https://www.cornwall-opportunities.co.uk/

I feel a long awaited and live portal for Cornwall.


I am away for a week now and hope to see some of you at the Summit on the 18th January. For anything urgent please don’t hesitate to reach out to the team. Have a great rest of your week.

Kind regards,

Ruth Bennetts | Enterprise Coordinator
