Local South East Cornwall MP Sheryll Murray has praised Tamar Foods for helping the long term unemployed through the Employment Academy.
The academy helps unemployed people and those seeking career change to secure local employment or apprenticeship through vocational training, work-based learning environments, and local work experience.
Following her visit Sheryll said, "I really found my visit to Tamar Foods in Callington with the Employment Academy very interesting. I was given a tour of the bakery which gave me an insight into the work experience graduates had been given.
"It was a pleasure to learn that many long term unemployed people had been given this superb opportunity and many had indeed found employment afterwards. I was also impressed by the way work was done to solve travel issues in this very rural area.
"I would like to thank the two graduates, Josh and Martin, who met with me to allow me to hear their experience first hand. I would also like to pay a special tribute to both the Employment Academy staff and Tamar Foods for providing this excellent opportunity."
