The eight-week Prince’s Trust Achieve programme will be delivered digitally for young people who meet the entry criteria. 

There will be a mixture of group activity sessions via video calls to encourage the participants to get to know each other and build their confidence, as well as tasks set by staff for participants to complete independently. Participants will be supported to complete the work that will lead to the Prince’s Trust Personal Development and Employability Skills Certificate.

Course leader Debbie Harvey, said, “We are really excited about delivering the Achieve programme online as it’s the first fully digital course we have delivered.  With the current lockdown restrictions in place, we wanted to provide young people with the opportunity to use their time to meet new people, build confidence and gain skills employers are looking for.

“Topics being delivered over the eight weeks include Digital Skills, Preparing for a Healthy Lifestyle, Managing Money, Presentation Skills and Career Planning as well as receiving individual support to search and apply for employment opportunities.”

The course will run five days a week, starting on Monday 22nd February and finishing on Friday 16th April.  Spaces are limited so if you are interested in finding out more, get in touch with Debbie Harvey as soon as possible on 07500 066134 or email Debbie.Harvey@dwfire.org.uk
