Interns Take the Lead at the Apprenticeships Fair

Adam and Dom

Cornwall Council Apprenticeships and Internships Careers Fair – 10 March 2026

The Cornwall Council Apprenticeships and Internships Fair filled New County Hall with activity. More than 35 local businesses set up stands and met visitors. They shared the apprenticeships and training they offer across Cornwall. Events like this support young people. They give them clear steps into work and build skills in real settings.

Two supported interns from Cornwall Council. Adam Greening and Dominic Tlustochowicz, from the Employment and Enterprise attended the Fair. They wanted to explore new paths and see if an apprenticeship was right for them. The fair also gave them a chance to talk about supported internships. The supported Internship programme has proved a great success for them so far.

Together they ran a stand and they did it with pride. They greeted visitors and shared their stories. They spoke with students, job seekers, and local groups. Many people stopped to learn more because the interns were warm and confident. Their clear communication and friendly approach made the stand easy to visit. Their progress shows the same steady skill building seen in all supported internships in the council. We know with practice and guidance, young people grow.

Both interns showed how much they have learned. They used the event to build new contacts and explore future options. Their teamwork stood out. They supported each other and kept the stand busy throughout the day. Many visitors left with a strong sense of what supported internships can offer.

Adam and Dom are entering their final rotation at Cornwall Council. The Council offers many apprenticeships and internships. Our HR team is helping young people learn about these options. This support helps them move from one programme to the next with confidence.

Events like this also help employers learn more about inclusive work. Many businesses want to support young people who need time to grow. Talking with Adam and Dom showed how much young people can achieve when given a chance.

The day was a success for everyone. It gave the interns a space to speak, learn, and take part in a real workplace event. It also showed their confidence, ambition, and pride. Adam and Dom represented the programme well. They should be proud of everything they achieved.

Well done Adam and Dom from Cornwall Council.
