The ESF Innovation in Higher Level Skills project is a collaborative project led by Truro and Penwith College, in partnership with The Cornwall College Group, the University of Exeter, Falmouth University and the University of Plymouth and has secured £1.97 million from the European Social Fund.
The project aims to engage with SMEs and micro businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to identify skills gaps and the demands for new CPD and degree-level apprenticeship provision, provide an opportunity for the co-design and piloting of new provisions to address skills gaps, offer 1:1 support and deliver a virtual internship programme to support and resolve business issues.
