My story:

Tom was thrilled to complete his Apprenticeship at one of Cornwall’s top attractions and his hard-work and dedication to his course has lead to an offer of full-time employment within the company. Tom is looking forward to his role as an International Administrator for The Eden Project and feels confident about his future there.

Tom said: “Working with The Eden Project, I thought there was no better place in Cornwall. It is a unique attraction, a place like no other.

“I had friends who spoke highly about the College. They said it was fantastic and as this Apprenticeship was with The Eden Project, it appeared to be the ideal combination.

“I have developed both professionally and personally following my Apprenticeship. The course has taught me diverse skills and knowledge which has given me with the confidence to throw myself into any task or opportunity that arises. This helps me feel a part of the successful International Eden Project Team.

“The learning, support and guidance I received from the College has been truly amazing, both in-person and virtually. I will be forever grateful to all the tutors, lecturers and training advisors at the College, as they have made me into the person I am today. I really enjoy being at Eden and hope to continue this amazing job of selling this unique attraction to the world.”
