Cornwall College has partnered with Celtic Sea Power to support clear progression routes into the green energy sector. Its T Level in Engineering and Manufacturing has been recognised with a FLOWmark, recognising courses and modules that meet future skills needs while supporting local career opportunities.
Darren Reski, Curriculum Area Manager for Electrical, Engineering and Motor Vehicle at Cornwall College St Austell, said: “The Engineering & Manufacturing T Level at Cornwall College is really special.
“We have worked closely with Celtic Sea Power, who have FLOW-marked our T Level. Their input has helped shape the course, so students gain up-to-date, industry-relevant skills that reflect emerging sector needs, including experience linked to floating offshore wind.”
With the FLOWmark stamp of approval, the T Level is highlighted as a credible pathway for students aiming to work in the floating offshore wind sector.
Olivia Whittle from Celtic Sea Power said: “Our approach is about building a pipeline towards specialist skills for fast-growing green industries such as FLOW. Key to that is recognising courses which are a step on that journey as well as a practical enabler to local opportunities in the here and now.
“This T-Level was a perfect fit for FLOWmark and we are delighted to progress this industry-education partnership with Cornwall College.”
The Engineering and Manufacturing T Level covers a broad range of disciplines including robotics, mechatronics and electronics. Delivered over two years, the programme combines occupational specialisms with multiple industry placements.
“This gives students a strong first step into engineering and manufacturing,” added Darren. “The experience they gain will support their next steps and help them progress with confidence.”
On completion of the T Level, students can move straight into employment, progress onto an apprenticeship or continue into higher education. Equivalent to three A Levels, the T Level carries UCAS points that support entry to university or advanced apprenticeships.
FLOWmark recognition gives students confidence that their learning reflects industry need, while signalling to employers that graduates are prepared for the practical demands of the sector.
