Prince's Trust Team

'Team' is a twelve week, full time, personal development programme for 16 to 25 year olds and is delivered by partners of the Prince's Trust throughout the UK. These partners include Fire Service's and Colleges. During the twelve week programme, the young people take part in a team building residential, complete a community project, look at their future careers, Team challenges, a work placement and a Final Team presentation. The community project section of the programme is a local project that is chosen by the young people for which they must fundraise for the materials and carry out the project themselves. Previous projects have included re-decoration of community halls and gardening. At the end of the twelve weeks the young people achieve a nationally recognised qualification from City & Guilds known as a Certificate in Personal, Team work and Community Skills. This qualification is set at either a Entry Level 3 or Level 1 on the National Quailification Framework (NQF) by the Qualification and Curriculum Authority (QCA). Wider Key skills can also be gained in Working With Others, Problem Solving and Improving Own Learning and Performance up to Level 2.

Team Programme Structure

The programme itself is made up of 12 weeks:

Week 1: Induction, target-setting, First Aid and Food Hygiene sessions

This consists of you deciding upon the areas young people would like to improve upon as part of their personal development. These areas might include: taking responsibility, caring for others, communication and leadership. They will also meet new team mates, develop team-working and Health and Safety skills.

Week 2: Residential (outdoor activities & other team building activities)

This stage also includes a one-week residential experience which is designed to bring individuals together as a team. The team also decides on a project which they will raise funds for and complete within their local community.

Weeks 3 - 6: Find, plan, fundraise & implement a locally based community project

Your very own “Changing Rooms” or “Ground Force”. The team is now really beginning to work together! When they have decided on a project, they will have 4 weeks to raise the funds, equipment and additional expertise to complete their chosen project and hand it over. They must work effectively as a team against tight deadlines to ensure that they complete on time.

Weeks 7 & 8: A chance to gain some practical work experience

To continue to give the young people the opportunity to meet their individual goals they will be given the chance to spend 2 weeks on an individual placement which will support the local community whilst at the same time giving them a worthwhile but challenging experience and developing their own skills.

Week 9: Intensive job search awareness week

We assist in the development of CV's, interview skills and the 'job application process'. We look to the individuals future and how we can improve their chances of employment or Further Education/training.

Weeks 10 & 11: Team Challenge benefiting people from the local community

Towards the end of the 12-week period the team re-form. The final team challenge might be arranging an activity for people with learning differences or in some way assisting those less fortunate in our society.

Week 12: Course Completion - Presentation of certificates

This is an opportunity to celebrate both individual and team achievements. The team will organise and carry out a presentation to invited guests highlighting the highs and lows of the previous 12 weeks. Individually they will speak to the audience about their experiences and aspirations. They will also be awarded their certificates by a guest of honour.
