The programme is aimed at those who have finished school and takes place between finishing Year 11 and the next phase in their education.  The course includes a one week residential, involving adventure activities and water sports, followed by two weeks of skills-based learning, project designing and voluntary work.  For those who complete the course they will be awarded a certificate from the Prime Minister and will be able to use their experience to enhance their CVs, letters of application for college, university or employment and provide a discussion point in any interviews they may have in the future.

As a reward for Upton High School having so many of our Year 11 learners express an interest in taking part, NCS awarded 3 vouchers to the school to be presented to 3 lucky learners.  Libby, Patrick and Isobel won one £50 and two £25 vouchers between them and are now looking forward to attending their courses in the summer break.
