Our impact Testimonials Testimonials Read what our customers have to say about our services: This programme helped me so much with my confidence, especially in a social environment...You will be in a welcoming environment whoever you are!…(This programme) helped me hone in on my skills in a work environment, like how to treat your co-workers with certain respect and to talk to your boss…The Prince’s Trust has helped me gain confidence and to be proud of my own independence.Participant of The Prince's Trust Team programme Previous to speaking with my adviser, I had very little idea what future education and career paths would be the best option for me. After talking to Nic, it was much clearer to see that I enjoyed learning in a more practical way. However, I wanted to unlock the higher tiers of career paths often only obtainable to those with higher levels of education (university), we therefore spoke about Degree apprenticeships. Before this conversation, I had always felt Degree Apprenticeships were very rare and unattainable options. Nic showed me websites to locate opportunities, ran me through the facts, when to apply and how many opportunities were available in the local area. We also spoke about methods of increasing my chances of securing roles, for example contacting businesses who offered apprenticeships in previous years before they advertise roles.All of this advice opened my eyes to the immense opportunity I had and how to achieve it, because of this I am happy to say I have secured a degree apprenticeship role in supply chain management starting in September.Thank you again!6th form student, Berkshire School I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the opportunities and experiences the Positive Destinations Project gave to our students.After every visit our students came back enthusing about where they had been. Particular highlights for our students was Andrew … commenting on how he 'didn't know places like this existed'. Josh was over the moon with the goodie bag provided, and couldn't put his cookbook down! I'd hazard a guess that this could be the first book Josh has owned. He refers to recipes from it whilst working in the kitchen … so it certainly had an impact on him.The care home was also a firm favourite with our students, with Claire seriously considering this area of work as a post 16 destination - she has spoken about the possibility of exploring work experience or a weekend job there.I feel you have both really made a difference to some of our students' next steps, expanding their minds as to what's out there and encouraging them to aim high.Thank you so much.Alternative provision provider Another set of brilliant visits for our students....one bringing a tear to our eye.... Monday's visit by James and David to the College was very well received by both boys. James enjoyed the visit and liked the choice of courses the college has to offer.David got to see the room he will actually be studying in in September. This is such a positive and reassuring thing for him, as it will decrease his anxiety as his college start dates draws near. It also allowed him to be confident he had 'made the right choice'.Today's visit was sadly not attended by all the students offered this opportunity as frustratingly it fell on days when their exam access arrangements were formulated. However James went, and probably uttered the best comment of our students' visits so far...'I didn't know life could be like this'...He is now sitting clutching his goodie bag with such a smile on his face, it's made me remember why I still do this job after 30 years.Thank you so very much.Alternative provision provider It was a very tough 5 months, alot of ups and downs (tears). The webinars gave me focus and the 1-2-1's that I did really helped me personally with specific tasks. I'm super excited... I have the passion for the cause. Thanks ever so much, just gotta go through checks/references then the manager will call me with a start date.Adult customer I just wanted to let you know that I got the... job I applied for!

The job seems like a great match. I don't think this would have happened if it wasn't for the phone consult I had with you... I had no idea how to position myself in the job market however you suggested to go for a Project Coordinator role. Filtering my search on this criteria really helped me find interesting roles to apply for.

Adult customer Thank you for the session with our Year 11 on apprenticeships. It was really useful and gave them lots of options to think about.

She made me understand what I want to do as I wasn’t clear before.Year 11 student, Buckinghamshire school Thank you for carrying out such fantastic interviews with our students...EVERY student I have spoken to has been incredibly positive, not a single negative remark – so thank you for making their experience so far a good and worthwhile one.Berkshire school I just wanted to message you and say thank you so much for everything you taught me in the course we did!
