"80.75% of students say their parents help them to make key careers decisions"

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.

Local Opportunities

With developments in technology there are now numerous jobs that did not exist 10 years ago. It is important to keep up to date with what is happening locally, nationally and internationally.

In regards to local opportunities, Cornwall and Isle of Scilly are leading the way in a number of exciting developments with a range of sectors including space, geothermal engineering, mining and IT. Click the buttons below for more information:
