The Princes Trust team is for 16-25 year olds who perhaps need to ease themselves back into learning. If you can’t commit fulltime and want to see what it’s like before you try, this might be the perfect option.

Maybe you feel work isn’t stretching you or you’ve been unemployed for sometime. Perhaps you would love to try something new or even find out more about yourself, and want to put something back into the community. The Prince’s Trust Team programme lets you do all that, and work with great people at the same time. Even better — if you’re unemployed, it’s free, and it won’t affect your Jobseeker’s Allowance. 

Who are we looking for?
You don’t need a shed load of qualifications or existing experience. You just need energy and a desire to try new things. That’s one of the reasons Team is a fantastic way to improve your confidence and show employers what you’re capable of. To put it simply, Team teaches practical life-skills that you just can’t get from a classroom. 


So what can you do?
Whatever you’re passionate about, you’ll connect with 15 like-minded people, for 12 weeks.

Taking on challenges that make a difference to West Cumbria such as 
— Community Projects
— Community Fundraising 
— Team Challenges 

You will also get a qualification; the practical skills you learn will lead to a formal qualification – Certificate in Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills. You choose the projects you work on, combined with one residential week and two weeks work experience. If you’re unemployed, you’ll get careers advice; help with CVs, and job searches.
