PLUGGING THE MANUFACTURING SKILLS GAP
Skills shortage is a key concern for our industry and we’re tackling it head on with our award-winning CMG Academy.
UK FIRST
The UK’s first manufacturing academy, co-funded by the LEP and CMG, launched in 2022 in a collaboration with the Cornwall College Group and is now entering its third year of supporting youth into manufacturing and engineering.
Dedicated to addressing the current skill shortages in manufacturing, it helps pupils from local schools to develop their skills in manufacturing and engineering, resulting in a Level 2 Diploma in Manufacturing & Engineering.
Our members open their doors, giving pupils access to Cornwall’s manufacturing companies in the form of tours and work experience, ensuring that all students leave equipped with the correct skillset to either continue their studies or gain an apprenticeship.
