Team is a free personal development course for young people who are not in full-time employment, education, or training.
We run the Team programme in Norfolk in partnership with the Prince’s Trust and the College of West Anglia.
What is Team?
Team aims to help young people get back into education or work. It’s also a great opportunity to build confidence and self-esteem, gain new skills, and meet new people.
The course is full-time and runs over 12 weeks. During the course you will:
- Go on an exciting residential week where you’ll do team-building activities like raft building, abseiling and orienteering
- Choose a community project to make a positive difference to your local area, and work on it with your Team mates
- Go on a work experience placement
- Write a CV, practice interview skills, and set goals for your future
- Take on a team challenge to help people in the local community
- Get an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' qualification
- Have information sessions about wellbeing and planning for the future
- Meet our fire crews and experience firefighting equipment
Everyone who completes Team will get a Prince’s Trust Certificate in Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills.
Who can join the Team course?
You can join Team if you are:
- 16 to 25–years-old, and

What does it cost?
Team is a free course, and it won’t affect any benefits that you receive.
