Apprenticeships
Run in conjunction with Cornwall College, our apprenticeship schemes are very successful and provide the company with a valuable source of highly trained workers.
General Apprenticeship Scheme
Since 1998 we have seen over 100 young people from the local area enrol on our general apprenticeship scheme. The four year course consists of a first year at Cornwall College gaining grounding in all aspects of yacht manufacture and maintenance. The apprentices then spend the next three years at the yard in their chosen trade gaining qualifications and experience. On successful completion of their apprenticeships, the apprentices often choose to take up positions within the yard and become valued members of our staff.
Surface Finishing Apprenticeship Scheme
Since June 2005 a new innovative apprenticeship scheme has been developed to focus on training local young people in the skills of surface finishing on yachts of all shapes and sizes. This specialist three year course consists of on the job training combined with classroom sessions trains the apprentices to achieve the perfect surface finish on our new build and refit projects.
