Explore different roles and the job market

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
Careers Hub Cornwall and Isles of Scilly
