Link up between Inverness College UHI and Prince's Trust to help boost young employment
It is now accepting applications from young people not in education, employment or training to take part in the 12-week Prince’s Trust Team programme.
The course is designed to give 16 to 25-year-olds the skills and confidence to find a job.
It is the first time the Team programme has been delivered in the Highlands.
Young people will have the opportunity to get involved in team-building activities, a week-long residential trip, a community project and two weeks of work experience during the programme.
They will also get advice on how to write a CV, gain a nationally recognised qualification and meet new people.
The programme starts next Tuesday and will be delivered at the Caledonian Stadium in Inverness.
Georgina Parker, director of business development at the college, said: “We are delighted to be offering the first Prince’s Trust Team programme to be delivered in the Highlands.
“Team has been highly successful in supporting young people across the UK to discover what they are capable of and plan their next steps.”
Three in four young people supported by the Prince’s Trust move into work, education or training.
The Prince’s Trust will help 59,000 disadvantaged young people this year, giving them the confidence and skills to turn their lives around.
For more information on the programme, email the college’s Prince’s Trust team leader Donna Dingwall on princestrust.ic@uhi.ac.uk or telephone 07342 054265.
