"We have taken the experience of my Trust to a growing number of places around the world through Prince’s Trust International, offering that classic ‘hand-up’ rather than hand out.

There is much to do throughout the Commonwealth to help young people..."

During a visit to Barbados this week, our President and Founder HRH The Prince of Wales attended an event with Prime Minister Mia Mottley and met young people on our programmes.

At the event HRH and Prime Minister Mottley spoke with the young entrepreneurs about their products; viewed an interactive game that aims to develop entrepreneurship skills in young participants and saw a demonstration of Vibe Check, a new, digital chatbot-based programme that helps young people with confidence and communication skills.

HRH was also able to catch up with our 2020 Global Award Winner, Akeme, and purchase some of his ‘Paradise Sauce’.

Meet Tenille, a young woman from Barbados who found a job in Customer Service by taking part in our Get Hired programme.

Having first taken part in our 'Get Into Hospitality' programme, Tenille took the initiative to shift her focus once the pandemic made finding jobs in hospitality more challenging.

Through Get Hired, she took part in a bespoke training course, received support with her CV & interview skills, & was matched with an employer in her chosen sector. She now credits both Get Into and Get Hired with giving her the skills and confidence she needed to thrive at work!

Yesterday our Founder and President, HRH The Prince of Wales attended an event at the British Ambassador’s residence in Jordan to celebrate the work of Prince’s Trust International in the country. During the event HRH met young people from two of our programmes, the Enterprise Business Challenge and Tariqi, to learn more about their experiences.

Prince’s Trust International has worked in Jordan since 2015, and in that time, we have supported more than 11,000 young people, 82% of whom are female, into employment, training or work experience opportunities.

Jordan has one of the largest youth populations in the world, with more than 60% of its population aged under 29. We are incredibly proud of the work that has been undertaken alongside our partners @bdcjordan, @injazorg, @@loyacjordan and @kafdjordan.

With #COP26 now finished, we're reflecting on what

With #COP26 now finished, we're reflecting on what young people need to access future sustainable jobs, and how business, government and the third sector can work together to create these opportunities.

Speaking at our panel during the conference, ‘So, You Want a Green Job?’, Jamie Crummie, Founder of sustainable food app @toogoodtogo.uk, commented that “young people want to be doing jobs that have social impact”, a remark that reflects the findings of our recent #FutureOfWork research.

Panelists at the event discussed the need for collaboration between the public and private sector to create accessible, sustainable jobs for young people in the green economy, and argued that there should be no trade off between price competitiveness and ethics.

Alongside Jamie Crummie, we heard from President of Colombia, Iván Duque Márquez and the UK Minister for Skills, Alex Burghart MP, alongside two other young entrepreneurs at the cutting edge of climate innovation, Enass Abo-Hamed (CEO, H2GO Power) and Aicha Seifelislam-Schreiber (Founder, Kandaka Naturals).

You can watch the full discussion, chaired by former Lord Mayor of Sheffield and Green MEP, Magid Magid, here - https://princestrustinternational.org/cop26-work-not-just-words/

Young people’s interest in #climatejustice has l

Young people’s interest in #climatejustice has led to a surge in enthusiasm for #sustainablejobs, and the opportunity to tangibly reform industries and shape the future. We organised two events at #COP26 that directly addressed this.

First, we held a roundtable discussion convening leading businesses to talk about young people’s soaring interest in #greenjobs and the breadth and diversity of green opportunities between industries.

We followed this with a panel called ‘So, You Want a Green Job?’ which was delivered in partnership with @oneyoungworld and @educationgovuk

You can find out more about this discussion and our time at #COP26 via the link in our bio.

This week we have been highlighting past winners of The Prince's Trust Global Award.

In 2020, Akeme from Barbados, a young man who transformed his life by participating in the TEAM programme, was recognised for his outstanding achievements.

Akeme was disengaged with his education and hanging with the wrong crowd before joining the programme. After taking part in a variety of activities, from community projects and confidence building, to teamwork and survival-at-sea, Akeme got a job working in a kitchen which ignited his passion for cooking.

He was presented with his award by HRH The Prince of Wales at a ceremony in 2020. Read more about Akeme's story on our website.

“Things have changed for me, I’ve gained the respect of people that I love, and the community at large." - 2019 Global Award Winner, Ahmad from Jordan.

Before joining the Adventure Team programme Ahmad felt like he had no chance of becoming someone who benefited himself, let alone his community. However, through the programme he developed an interest in the outdoors and eventually discovered his passion as a local guide for visitors to his community, and Adventure Coach for vulnerable youth.

You can read Ahmad's full story on our webiste.
