Training Information
The Prince's Trust supports young people in a number of ways:
• A 12-week personal development course called Team that helps 16-25 year olds - the majority unemployed - to develop confidence, motivation and skills through teamwork in the community. We deliver the course through partners such as colleges and the fire service. Ex-offenders/offenders and careleavers are recruited onto the course, helping to support these two target groups
• Cash awards of £50- £500 combined with advice and support, so young people can access education, training or work
• Low interest loans, grants and other business start-up support for 18-30 year olds. Most are unemployed and have been refused funding by other sources.
• A six-month programme that helps unemployed young people develop their musical talents, as well as self-confidence and life skills. Sound Live starts with a six-day personal development residential of music-based activities working with professional tutors. The following months consist of individual follow-up support and signposting
• Two and three week visits to Europe for groups of around five young people, so they can take part in community projects overseas
Advice
The Prince's Trust activities - programmes, partnerships, fundraising - have one overall purpose: to reach young people (16-25 year olds) in the UK who face more barriers than most, and help them get past those barriers so they can get their lives working and make a positive contribution to society.

Testimonials
“The Prince’s Trust listened and gave me choices I never knew about. They knew about my background but they supported me anyway. They gave me the chance to show who I am and what I can do”
Ex-offender, Aged 19
“Sometimes people just need a break in life. They don’t need handouts, just a break to put them in the right direction. The Prince’s Trust gave me that break and I can’t thank them enough for that opportunity”
