NEW 'GET ON BOARD' PROJECT STARTS AT FALMOUTH WHARVES

Keynvor Morlift, as new owners of the Wharves, are pleased to be able to provide a workshop space to facilitate a Falmouth-based project, that won a South West competition for funding, which has started with 16 young people. Nearly a year ago Falmouth and Penryn residents got behind the Get On Board project that needed votes to convince the judges it was worthy. September saw the beneficiaries of the project begin their year-long course that could potentially change their lives.

Cornwall Marine Network (CMN) made the application in October 2015 to NatWest’s £2.5m Skills and Opportunity Fund which supports organisations that help people develop, create or access the skills and opportunities they need to get into work or start a business.

All the students will be professionally tutored one day a week at a specially assigned workshop provided by KML located at Falmouth Wharves.

‘It is particularly great to see the students start a potential marine career at a site that is of key economic importance to Cornwall’s marine infrastructure.’ said Paul Wickes, Chief Executive of CMN.  

KML wish all students well in their new ventures.
