Talent & Skills

Leading universities

With three of the UK’s leading universities – including a Russell Group university — new talent is grown in Cornwall every day.

• Recruit students of everything from environmental science to business at University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus
• Source graduates in subject from robotics to health at Plymouth University.
• Find trained creative practitioners, marketers and more at Falmouth University.

Industry-specific skills

From Camborne School of Mines to the Falmouth University Games Academy. Cornwall teaches skills most other places don’t.

That means our talent pool is deep as well as broad. If you need specific expertise, we might well have it in stock.

An entrepreneurial culture

Maybe it’s the Cornish way of life. Maybe it’s our super-supportive business community…

Whatever the reason, Cornwall attracts an abundance of innovative thinkers and business all-rounders – with vision, drive and transferable skills.

Effortless talent retention

With a unique lifestyle and unmatched scenery, Cornwall makes it easy to retain and attract the talent you need to drive your business forwards.

“Years ago, we had to focus on attracting talent down from London. Now, largely thanks to the universities, there’s a good supply of the skills our business needs locally.” Josh Neve, Sanders Studios
