Prince's Trust xl Awards
The Prince's Trust xl Awards help young people aged 14-16 who are facing difficulties, such as risk of exclusion from school or emotional and behavioural difficulties. To date, the xl scheme has helped almost 60,000 young people. They work on a personal development curriculum comprising six main areas:
- Personal, interpersonal and team skills
- Citizenship and community awareness
- Community-based project
- Residential activity
- Entrepreneurship and enterprise
- Preparation for work/training
Structure and progression
The Award can be achieved at three levels - Bronze, Silver and Gold. It is accredited by ASDAN and can lead to qualifications in the Wider Key Skills of Improving own Learning and Performance, Problem Solving and Working with Others.
