Young people aged 16 to 25, who are unemployed and living in the Sunderland area, could learn new skills to help them get a job by signing up to the Prince's Trust Team course run by Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service.
The course gives up to 15 young people the opportunity to meet other people, try out new skills, get a taste of the workplace and plan for the future - all in a specially designed 12-week course, starting on 6 May.
If you are aged 16 to 25 and unemployed and would like to find out more about the course, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service is holding an Open Day at Farringdon Community Fire Station on Thursday 24 April, 10am until 4pm. Drop in at any time during the day and you can chat with someone about what the course involves and how it could help you.
Princes Trust Team Leader, Alan D'Arcy, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, said: "This is a great opportunity; not only does it provide young people in Sunderland with vital skills to equip them for the future, but it's also great fun. I would encourage anyone interested to pop down and have a chat with us or to contact us to find out more about the course. The Service has been running the Princes Trust Programme for a number of years now and it's helped many go on to gain further qualifications and a great career."
The 12-week course includes a team-building residential session, a community fundraising project, a work placement, CV writing skills and interview technique training, and a team challenge involving helping others in the local community.
