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

Helston Community College aims to meet all eight Gatsby Benchmarks: Schools & Colleges - Careers Hub (careershubcios.co.uk) identified by the Gatsby Foundation. Link here 

At Helston Community College we expect all subject areas to do the following:
    • Have a display that links subjects to careers
    • Develop links with external agencies and employers
    • Invite alumni and other external speakers into school
    • Organise where possible external visits to businesses or organisations
    • Record careers learning in schemes of learning
    • Explore the possibility of developing projects with local businesses
    • Take into account all students needs and interests and ensure that information challenges stereotypes
 
Subject teachers will be supported by the Careers Leader to integrate careers opportunities into their subject areas though INSET sessions. This will include the opportunity to meet local businesses and organisations.

Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly has lots of new opportunities and developments in a wide range of sectors. For more information about the sectors and developments in Cornwall please look at the ’10 Opportunities' booklet here created by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership.
