Employment Support: On-the-job experience and training for 16 - 30 year olds (ESE)

Prince's Trust

 If you’re aged 16 to 30 and are looking for on-the-job experience and training,  the Princes Trust can help.

Work with top employers such as TK Maxx​, ASOS, HSBC, Gap, DHL, Marks and Spencer, the NHS, and many more businesses who are ready to hire fresh talent, while improving your CV and interview techniques. You will meet new people and learn what it takes to get your foot in the door. Some courses include a trial shift with potential job offers available at the end. 

What you need to know

  • The courses run from two days to a few weeks
  • Completely free and won’t affect your Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • We'll cover your travel and may be able to support you with lunch and childcare costs
  • Find opportunities in retail, hospitality, customer service, health and social care, and construction and engineering

Mentor support

After the programme, a Prince’s Trust colleague or volunteer will mentor you for up to six months to help you plan your future.​​​​​​​


Our live chat and phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. Outside these hours, you can drop us a line and we’ll get back to you when we’re back online.
