Celebration of the second Prince’s Trust programme
click to enlarge  Prince’s Trust students had something to celebrate after they were the second team to complete the 12 week programme delivered at the College.
The Prince’s Trust Team Programme is a 12 week personal development course designed to build the confidence, motivation, skills and qualifications of young people aged 16-25 through a range of activities involving teamwork and work within the community.
The programme aims to recruit a diverse and varied mix of team members from across all communities within Rotherham.
Team members participated in a range of self-developmental activities over the 12 weeks including a team building residential, community projects at Rosehill Park and Thrybergh Country Park, fundraising activities and work placements.
Each Team member has the opportunity to work towards a number of nationally recognised qualifications as well as many other experiences that will greatly improve future prospects for employment, education and training.
The team concluded the programme with a celebration event which they hosted at Rotherham’s Unity Centre where the Mayor and Mayoress of Rotherham, Shaukat Ali and Wajida Naseem were in attendance along with members of the Prince’s Trust and Principal and Chief Executive, George Trow.
The event was introduced by Mr Trow who congratulated the team on their achievements and said,
“We are extremely proud to be associated with the nationally and internationally recognised brand that is the Prince’s Trust.”
“It is vitally important that the youth of today are recognised as a positive influence within the community and that is exactly what this group of students have become.”
The students then delivered a presentation to inform guests about the Prince’s Trust experience and how it has changed their lives for the better.
Team member Lauren explained,
“I have gained a lot of experience and confidence on the programme. If I had the chance to do this again I would.”
The evening was brought to a close with a presentation of certificates to the students by the Mayor and final words from Prince’s Trust Team Leader Jenny Upton who said,
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all the team members over the last 12 weeks. I am very proud of each one of them and what they have achieved and wish them all the best for the future.”
