The next team 12 starts on 21st January 2008
The Prince's Trust Programme offer young people the unique opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications without all the classroom study generally associated with a college course.
The PTT Programme is run through Milton Keynes College, run at Stocklake Industrial Park and is open to 16 - 25 year olds. The course lasts for 12 weeks and runs Monday to Friday from 9.30 - 4.30. As a member of the team young people will work on life skills such as team building, confidence, motivation and leadership. The team will enjoy a residential week, which includes the activities of abseiling, climbing and orienteering. Later in the programme they will plan and participate in various community projects and challenges. They will also complete a 2 week work placement of their own interest and will be given career guidance. It is totally free to join and they will have an unforgettable experience.
During the programme the students will have the opportunity to achieve key skill awards. There is also the possibility to gain City and Guilds Personal, Teamwork and Community Skills. All team members who complete the course will receive a limited edition certificate from Prince Charles!
The PTT programme is nationally recognised and is government approved, so they will still be eligible to claim benefits whilst participating in it. We have a mixture of people on each team, including those who are unemployed, those who have just left education, gap year students and unemployed team members.
As a member of a PTT they will make new friends, experience exciting adventures - things that they never even dreamed of doing and spend time in their local community helping other people.
