Objectives

We believe young people have the talent to achieve anything they want to in life. That’s why we make their journey to success even easier by giving them the skills, tools, training and confidence they need to secure the job they want.

We run a range of training programmes, provide mentoring support and offer financial grants to build the confidence and motivation of disadvantaged young people. Each year we work with about 60,000 young people, with around 80% moving on to employment, education, training or volunteering

Activities

The Prince's Trust has several programmes that assist young people:.

  • Our Enterprise programme helps unemployed young people aged 18 to 30 with support and funding to work out if their business ideas are viable and whether self-employment is right for them. Available face to face or through Prince's Trust Online, it's now even easier to become your own boss. 
  • Team is a 12-week personal development course for 16 to 25-year-olds, offering work experience, qualifications, practical skills, community projects and a residential week.
  • Get into is a short vocational course that develops young people's skills in a specific sector for 16 to 25-year-olds.
  • Get Started are short courses run by professional tutors in sport, music and creative arts for 16 to 25-year-olds.
  • Our Fairbridge programme works with young people aged 16 to 25, giving them the motivation, self-confidence and skills they need to change their lives.
  • We offer Development Awards (cash awards) for 14 to 25-year-olds to help make getting back into work, education or training even easier. 
  • Our new education programme, Achieve, is a personal development course for 11 to 19-year-olds who are at risk of underachievement or exclusion. This course offers a practical approach to learning to help them fulfil their potential. 
  • Explore a suite of accredited mentoring programmes which are run in schools by Mosaic; creating opportunities for young people growing up in our most deprived communities.
