Prince's Trust
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service work in partnership with Prince’s Trust delivered through Worcester College of Technology.
If you're unemployed, unexcited and unsure of your future, we have something to get you going: The Prince's Trust Team.
Is it for people like me?
The Team Programme is for UK residents aged 16-25 who are unemployed. It's free and will not affect your Jobseeker's Allowance.
What happens on the course?
You will, among other things:
- be part of a team of 15 people for 12 weeks
- take on community projects of your choosing
- have an action-packed residential week
- get two weeks' work experience - perhaps at a football club.
What's in it for me?
- Practical skills that help you in a job and in life
- New friends and a lot of fun
- Belief in what you can accomplish
- Career advice and help with job-hunting and your CV
- The chance to make a difference in your community
- A nationally recognised qualification (see below)
City & Guilds qualification
While you're on Team, you'll work towards a nationally recognised qualification: a certificate in Personal, Teamwork and Community Skills. This could help your chances of finding work after
the course is over.
As part of the 12 week course we provide two days on an operational fire station. The days are based around effective team work and communication. It provides the young people with the opportunity to put into practice and enhance the skills they have learn on their 12 week course
so far.
Activities include Team Building games, Hose running and pumping water, Road safety session, water safety session, ladder, and Search & Rescue Techniques.
We are currently looking at how we deliver our Road Safety Message to Post 16 young people.
