Skills

At Superfast Cornwall, we know that our investment in a brand new superfast network is just the beginning.  Ultimately, it is down to businesses to seize the initiative and take advantage of the opportunities presented by superfast broadband.  It is only then that businesses can create competitive advantage and our economy in Cornwall can grow.

Some enterprises in Cornwall are immediately able to see the opportunities and already have the skills and knowledge they need to explore the exciting new possibilities opened up by superfast broadband.  However, many others will benefit from updating their skills, so that they are fully able to make the most of this exciting opportunity and create a step change in their business.

At Superfast Cornwall, we are committed to helping businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly have all the skills they need to get maximum benefit from superfast broadband.

We are talking to businesses and business groups in Cornwall to identify the specific areas where skills training could help.  We also want to define how training can best be delivered to local businesses.  As this programme is about creating a better future for Cornwall, we are not only identifying the skills needed today; we are identifying the skills that will be needed in the years ahead.  Please click here to view the results of a recent survey into skills needs in Cornwall, undertaken by Superfast Cornwall.

We will work with training organisations to develop an effective programme of skills training so that businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly have all the skills they need to take full advantage of this unprecedented opportunity.

Skills are a vital key to unlocking the full potential of the Superfast Cornwall programme.
