The Prince’s Trust Team

The Prince’s Trust Team is a unique development opportunity for young people aged between 16 and 25, enabling them to develop their confidence, motivation and skills through a programme of individual challenges and teamwork in the community.

We bring together people of different abilities, circumstances and backgrounds – both employed and unemployed. We support team members to develop their core skills, build confidence and gain nationally recognised qualifications. Since it’s launch in 1990 over 50,000 young people have taken part in the programme.

The programme has four key stages:
• Induction and residential team building
• Community projects
• Team challenge
• Final review and presentation

Participants work in teams of up to 15 over a 12 week period. Unemployed participants complete the full 12 week programme and those on New Deal go on to a further 14 week individual challenge, while employed participants complete 20 full days over the 12 weeks on either a block or modular basis. Young people completing the programme develop a variety of core and practical skills. The development of core skills such as communication, problem solving and working with others are developed throughout the programme and participants can gain accreditation for these. The Prince’s Trust Team runs in Aberdeen and in North Aberdeenshire.
