Recently, Georgia was named one of the winners at the Cornwall Apprenticeship Awards in the Land-Based Apprentice of the Year category.
This prestigious awards ceremony, hosted by Truro and Penwith College, celebrates outstanding apprentices from across Cornwall, and Georgia’s achievement highlights her dedication and passion for her job.
Studying at Duchy College Rosewarne has provided Georgia with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to excel in her apprenticeship.
Her role with Falmouth Town Council has allowed her to apply her learning in real-world settings, showcasing her skills and creativity.
