The Prince's Trust Programme

The Prince's Trust Team Programme offers you the unique opportunity to gain nationally-recognised qualifications without all the classroom study generally associated with a college course. Open to 16-25 years old, the PTT programme is run by Milton Keynes College at Chaffron Way Campus. The course lasts for 12 weeks and runs Monday to Friday from 9.30 - 4.30pm.


Prince's Trust Start Dates:

16th January 2012

As a member of the team, you could work on life skills, such as team building, confidence, motivation and leadership. The team enjoys a residential week, which includes the activities of abseiling, mountain climbing and orienteering. Later in the programme you will participate in various community projects and challenges. You will also complete a two-week work placement of your own interest and be given career guidance.

The PTT programme is nationally recognised and is government approved, so you will still be eligible to claim benefits whilst participating. We have a mixture of people on each team, including those who are unemployed, those who have just left education, gap-year students and employed team members.

As a member of a PTT, you will make new friends, embark on adventures - things you never even dreamed of doing - and spend time in your local community helping other people. So, do you think you are up for this 12-week challenge?

The event took place at the MK Don's Stadium at 7pm on the 14th of December 2011. The event was held in the director's lounge of the stadium MK. The final presentation celebrated the end of the course for the learners of Prince's Trust Team MK 46. The event, themed on the houses of parliament, looked to debate the impact of Team MK 46 within the community. Over a heated debated the team presented their valuable experiences and tremendous victories during their time on the course.

Overall the presentation included the team's biggest achievements whilst on programme, these included;

  • Climbing a mountain in Wales,
  • Raising £458.47 from a variety of fundraisers for their community project,
  • Completing a two week community project at Simpson School,
  • Each person completed a two week work placement gaining very good references,
  • Completing a week ‘team challenge' where the team put on a range of activities for children at Oldbrook Preschool,
  • Some learners even acquired jobs from their time on programme.

At the end of the presentation each learner received a gift pack which contained certificates acquired throughout the course, a ticket to an MK Don's home game and a folder for learners to take to future interviews. The night was a huge success with all learners demonstrating how far they have travelled throughout the twelve weeks both physically and mentally. In total there were in excess of 40 people either friends, family and support agencies present. The event was also attended by the Mayor of Milton Keynes who presented the learners with their gift packs. Also in attendance included a director of Milton Keynes College, a representative of Prince's Trust and also a representative of MK Don's SET.

From the staff of Milton Keynes College we would like to say a very big well done to team MK 46.
