The Prince's Trust Programme

 

The Prince's Trust 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 olds, the PTT programme is run by Milton Keynes College at three sites across the city. The course lasts for 12 weeks and runs Monday to Friday from 9.30 - 4.30pm.

 

Prince's Trust Start Dates:

 

Monday 13th September, 2010

Monday 20th September, 2010

 

 

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 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?

Prince's Trust Army Day

Prince's Trust Army Day

 

On Friday 5th February, Prince's Trust students from both the MK Team 39 and BP Team 6 were set the challenge of completing a gruelling army day. The two teams were brought together to work on communication and teamwork skills. The day started with a sprint out to the muddy grass, followed by two problem-solving team exercises before facing the assault course and shooting range. 

Team members were crawling through mud, shooting paintball guns and taking on leadership roles, as well as pulling together to ensure that they all completed the mental and physical challenges put to them. The teams worked together fantastically to build a tent frame blind-folded, solve the tyre challenge and rescue injured soldiers.

Team members described the day as ‘challenging and tiring, but rewarding'. The Army Careers office in Milton Keynes supplied all equipment and training to ensure that the Prince's Trust students had a true insight of the skills and fitness required of soldiers.
