The Prince’s Trust Team Cymru programme launches in Wrexham

The Prince’s Trust Team Cymru is launching a new 12-week course in Wrexham to help young people develop new skills and gain qualifications.

In partnership with Groundwork North Wales the programme, for young people aged 16-25, will begin in September.

Team Cymru’s aim is to assist the young people into employment, education, or training by helping them develop new skills, gain
qualifications, build their confidence and meet new people.

Throughout the programme participants will be involved in community projects and challenges that aim to increase theirs and the community’s engagement and involvement in the local environment.

Boosting the young, people’s confidence, well-being, sense of community and their ability to engage
in a meaningful way with the natural environments around them.

Young people participating will access a two-week work placement in a business or organisation, take part in an outward-bound trip and have the chance to plan and deliver their own group community project.

Three in four people who complete a course with the Prince’s Trust go on to
work, education or training.

Aaron Jones, Senior Youth Lead with Groundwork North Wales, said: “We are excited to be delivering the Team Cymru programme in Wrexham and are on the lookout for young people to join our Team Cymru programme.

“It is a fantastic opportunity for young people to get involved with and benefit from”.

Taking part in the Team Cymru programme will not affect people’s ability to claim benefits, and
travel to sessions is arranged for participants by the Team Cymru programme.
