Local young people are being offered the chance to take part in a 12-week course to gain practical skills, secure valuable qualifications and meet new people.
The Prince’s Trust’s Team Programme will take place at Nelson Fire Station from Monday, May 8 in conjunction with the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.
The course, for anyone aged 16-25, involves working alongside up to 14 other like-minded peers and taking on a community project from start to finish, including planning and fundraising.
It will also include a two-week work experience placement to improve CVs and work on interview skills.
75 per cent of those taking part in a Team Programme in 2013 have since gone on to employment, education, or training.
