CMN to boost young skills

Cornwall Marine Network (CMN) is launching a new motivational training course to help teenagers into work.

The courses, which run from between ten to 16 weeks, combine classroom and watersports activities to build confidence, teamwork and communication skills.

The courses, which are designed to help teenagers (aged 16-19) who are unsure of what career or training path to take next, are funded through the European Social Fund’s Freestyle programme.

CMN’s David Wickes said: “The courses are designed to help those who are currently out of education, employment or training. We would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in attending and we would then enrol them on the most suitable course.”

CMN is hosting a series of recruitment open days in the Falmouth and St Austell areas over September and October.
