Cumbernauld College to host recruitment days for Prince’s Trust Programme

Unemployed young people encouraged to attend information sessions.

Out of work young people are encouraged to attend one of two Prince’s Trust Programme open days taking place soon at Cumbernauld College.

The Prince’s Trust Programme offers vital advice and guidance to young adults who have been struggling to find employment.

Taking place at the college’s East Dunbartonshire campus on Wednesday, January 25 and Wednesday, February 1, the two information sessions will give an overview of the 12-week course which is due to begin at the college in late February.

Emma Noble, Prince’s Trust Programme Leader, said: “The two information days will give young people the chance to come along and find out about the programme, ask questions and think about if the programme is right for them.”

The programme is full-time and open to anyone who is unemployed and between the ages of 16 and 25.

During the three months, students will be involved in project planning, team building activities, fundraising, community projects, a two week work placement, a team challenge and will also achieve four SQA units, including basic first aid and a level one BFC health and safety in the work place.

Students will also spend a week away on an activity residential.

Emma added: “The course is open to anyone looking for new direction, qualifications, experience, social development or personal development. Everyone who finishes the course goes onto employment, education or training.

“It is a great opportunity for young people to change their life or get on in life.”

Both information sessions will be held in Room 3 of:

East Dunbartonshire Campus

50 Southbank Road

Kirkintilloch

1pm
