Overview
The Prince’s Trust qualifications in Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills recognise a breadth of personal skills, qualities and attitudes required by employers across a range of sectors. They have been developed with the aim of progressing learners into further education or employment.
Our Prince’s Trust 12 Week course gives you the opportunity to learn a variety of new skills, build your confidence, gain teamwork/leadership (primarily on the five-day residential) and problem solving through a series of projects and challenges throughout the course. The course will also help to build confidence with your English and Maths and ultimately enable you to become more independent. You will be able to participate in taster sessions for your chosen career, as well as develop personal and social skills. This will then enable you to progress into further learning or work.
Our tutors are ready to support you and give you a fresh start in your learning journey. All lessons are focused on developing your opportunities to progressing on to other further education courses within the college, prepare you for interview and ultimately to get a job.
The course will be 5 days per week = 25 hours per week and is a rolling course 12 weeks with a choice of progression.
