Sherford Careers

The Sherford Skills Training Scheme Co-ordinator is based at City College Plymouth. With the primary objective of getting young people involved in building the new town through Apprenticeships, vocational NVQs, work experience and work placements, we are able to deliver assemblies about the construction careers involved in the development, with the option of a follow-up site tour for interested students.

Junior Academies

During term-time, we run a range of Junior Academies which provide 14 to 16-year-olds with the chance to learn more about a particular course area whilst gaining meaningful experience in a college environment.
