Swindon youth development charity Inner Flame is to work with The Prince’s Trust to deliver its Team programme, a 12-week personal development course helping 16 to 25 year olds learn new skills and improve their confidence and motivation.
Participants take part in team-building activities, a week-long residential trip, a community project and two weeks of work experience during the course. They also get advice on how to write CVs as well as gaining a nationally-recognised qualification through a partnership with Swindon College.
Inner Flame trustee Graham Moates will be team leader of the first programme, scheduled to start on March 19. Graham said: “Too many young people feel they don’t have the skills and talents to succeed in life. The Team programme really does help them turn their lives around.”
More than 143,000 young people have benefited from the programme so far. Last year, more than three in four young people helped by The Prince’s Trust moved into work, education or training.
