Cormac have launched a new Level 3 Civil Engineering Technician Apprenticeship in partnership with Truro and Penwith College this October. This initiative addresses the skills shortage in the region’s construction and civil engineering sectors and provides essential training opportunities for the next generation of professionals.
As infrastructure demands rapidly increase, this apprenticeship will nurture a new wave of highly skilled technicians ready to address engineering and construction challenges. This 30-month program combines Cormac’s industry expertise with Truro and Penwith College’s exceptional teaching quality, offering a balanced curriculum that features classroom instruction and practical experience on live projects managed by Cormac.
Dominic Bostock, Managing Director for Cormac, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration: “We are excited to partner with Truro and Penwith College to bring this apprenticeship programme to life. It is essential that we equip the next generation of civil engineers with the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to address the challenges of the future and continue providing value to our communities. Our collaboration on this program demonstrates our commitment to career development and ongoing efforts to invest in local talent to drive innovation in civil engineering within the region.
Hayley McKinstry, Director of Partnerships & Apprenticeships at Truro and Penwith College, highlighted the significance of the program: “At Truro & Penwith College, we are proud to collaborate with Cormac to deliver an apprenticeship that meets both their business needs and Cornwall’s broader skills agenda.
