Our Prince’s Trust Team Programme is once again looking for young adults between the ages of 16-25 who are currently unemployed in North East Lincs to join the new course in January 2015.
Since 1992, a partnership between The Prince’s Trust and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service has re-engaged with thousands of unemployed 16-25 year olds, helping them to develop self-esteem and skills for work. Plans are now underway for the latest programme which starts in the New Year.
Team is a full-time 12 week personal development programme which aims to increase confidence, motivation and skills and, as a result, enables young people to move into employment, education, training, volunteering or an apprenticeship.
Some of the key features of the Team programme are:
- a challenging, structured 12-week programme for Teams of 12 to 15 young people
- team-building activities, including one week at a residential activity centre
- teamwork on real projects in the local community and individual work placements
- culminates in each Team presenting its achievements to an invited audience and receiving their end of programme certificates
- personal development takes place throughout by the process of planning, action and review
During the 12 week programme young people will:
- uncover hidden talents
- develop team-working and communication skills
- gain nationally recognised qualifications
During the programme young people will work towards the following qualifications and training:
- Prince’s Trust Level 2 Certificate In Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills (QCF)
- Food Safety Level 2
- Emergency First Aid
- Customer Service Level 2
- Equality & Diversity Training
- Fire Safety Awareness
- Road Safety Awareness
Team programme applicant criteria:
- aged 16-25 years of age
- currently unemployed
- currently not enrolled on any other full time programme
- willing to commit to a 12 week full time programme of activities
