Transform your future! Discover confidence boosting courses and nationally recognised qualifications at New College Swindon with The Prince’s Trust
New College Swindon is proud to announce the launch of The Prince’s Trust TEAM programme. Aimed at young people (aged 16-25) who are stuck in life, the programmes are designed to inspire, give direction, help build confidence, independence and gain essential skills for life and the world of work.
Empowering Young People: TEAM Programme at New College Swindon
One of the standout offerings is The Prince’s Trust TEAM Programme – a 12-week challenging, personal development programme which includes:
Community Projects: Engaging and rewarding projects that connect young people to their local communities and help them to build networks and connections
Employability Weeks: Work experience, mock interviews, CV workshops and guest speakers
Nationally Recognised Qualifications: Participants gain a qualification in ‘Employability, Teamwork and Community Skills’
Practical Skills: Development of essential skills for personal and professional growth
Residential Week: A challenging week away to stretch participants and build teamwork and resilience
Much greater than the sum of its parts, the programme opens up new possibilities. Participants leave inspired, with a clear direction in life and a plan for their next steps. Many move straight into work, having made connections on the programme. Others go back to education, start volunteering or start living a more independent life.

It’s a life-changing course for young people, which Swindon needs now more than ever. Over 12 weeks, young people take part in a series of challenging learning activities.
