The Prince’s Trust Get Into programme offers disadvantaged young people, who are work-ready but who do not have the vocational skills, the opportunity to benefit from an introduction to working in specific industry sectors. The Get Into Cooking programme in Northern Ireland provides unemployed young people, aged 16-25, with the inspirations and opportunity to develop skills, obtain accredited qualifications and gain relevant work experience within the catering business to be able to move into employment or take up further training within the sector. partnership with Michael Deane Restaurants.
The five week programme is run in The Prince’s Trust are also delighted that Niall
Mckenna the winner of the Great British Menu for Northern Ireland is now on board as a partner for this programme.
At the time of writing the Prince’s Trust report that the 2011 programme is going well. However due to increasing interest (caused by rising unemployment in Northern Ireland), selection of the young people is becoming increasingly hard. On this occasion to select 16 participants, over 50 candidates had to be interviewed which took the team almost four days! A new element to the programme is the delivery of a bakery class.
The Springboard Charity £26,350
The Springboard Charity exists to help young unemployed and disadvantaged people gain the necessary information, advice, education, support, skills development and assistance into sustainable employment in hospitality, tourism and leisure. In the year under review – and under this strategic area - they received funding from the Trust for the following two initiatives:-
1. ‘London Summer School Programme’ – an educational development programme designed to provide school and college leavers with a supported transition into sustainable employment in key skills shortage areas in the hospitality industry in London. It provides a tried and tested structured programme of work experience, short courses (food hygiene, health and safety, customer care), pre- employment training (motivation, confidence building, personal presentation, first impressions and body language, communication, team work), specialist careers advice, two week summer work placements in industry and ultimately supported entry into a variety of sustainable employment opportunities – including apprenticeships, direct employment or further/higher education.
The target was to secure 100 participants and Springboard
programme, 104 young people were offered places; 26
providing work placements; 69 young people completed the programme (see ph
reported that for the 2010 employers were involved in oto); and
20 were offered employment in the industry as a result and 49 decided to continue with College and/or University thus making the conversion rate back into education or employment 76%.
The Trustees have agreed to fund the London Summer School Programme for a term of three years with each year’s grant being dependent on a satisfactory annual evaluation and therefore entirely at the discretion of the Trustees. The year under review marks the first payment.
