Prince’s Trust opportunities available in West Sussex
5 December 2011
The Prince’s Trust in West Sussex is offering unemployed 16 to 25 year olds the opportunity to join their 12 week personal development and training ‘Team’ programme which seeks to improve young people’s employability through undertaking voluntary projects in the local community. The programme is delivered by City College Brighton and Hove.
In a recent ‘team’ programme, a group of young people experienced an exciting range of activities including planning, teamwork and problem-solving in Dartmoor, a community project involving gardening and creating art-work at the Phoenix Centre and also a week at Graceland’s Residential Home where they engaged with and entertained elderly residents. The team have also benefited from a diverse range of work placements, providing them with a taste of jobs such as dog groomer, electronic test engineer, teaching assistant and leisure assistant.
The Prince's Trust Team Programme
'My time on the Team programme has been very valuable', said 20-year-old Alan Wills, who has recently completed the programme. 'It helps you to learn new skills that prove useful in all facets of life, or discover skills you had but didn't know it. If you're looking for direction in life or to reinforce your skills and qualities, it could be perfect for you.'
If you’re unemployed and aged between 16 and 25 and would like to join the programme in January, text TEAM followed by your name to 07841 066846
