12 weeks which can change your life - a course designed to change your mind set to ‘I can do this’. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time spent in the right place to see what’s possible.
Join Team, our 12-week personal development programme, for the chance to gain new skills, take a qualification and meet new people.
When you come on board, you’ll be challenged to:
- Take on your own group community project, making a positive difference to the place where you live
- Take part in an action packed residential trip
- Get two weeks’ work experience in something you’re interested in
- Develop your English and Maths skills

What people say
I felt really anxious and didn't want to come in, but I'm glad I did as I really enjoyed the course and met some great people. The best thing about the programme has been working on my skills development such as confidence and communication. I have improved on both of these which I know will benefit me a lot in life.
The most challenging part of the programme was the residential trip. I found it really hard and I hate being away from home, though I surprised not only myself but my mum and dad as well, as I persevered and stayed for the whole trip and actually enjoyed it. For my work experience, I went to Abbeycroft Leisure Centre where I worked in the cafe, the gym and with the lifeguards. I really liked my placement and learnt a lot whilst I was there.
The greatest moment of the past 12 weeks has to be seeing everyone develop and work together as a team. My plan for the future is to get a job ideally in photography and then travel the world.
