About us

Konnect Cornwall works to enable, motivate and inspire people in our communities who are seeking to improve their skills, develop their opportunities and maximise their potential. We work with a wide range of individuals including victims and offenders of crime, and young people struggling to remain in education.

We know that the expertise of the practitioner and the strength of their relationship with the client is the strongest determinant of the impact of a service.

The aim of Konnect is to work closely with clients, to create a tailored and supported pathway that supports the development and enhancement of life skills so that clients are enabled to participate in a positive and constructive future.

In order to achieve this, Konnect provides a needs-based service that includes access to mentoring; training, meaningful and relevant education and facilitates opportunities for employment.

We will ‘Konnect’ our clients with existing and bespoke provision in education, training and the work place, thus enabling them to move forwards and to participate in a more productive future.
