The Prince’s Trust and ASOS are offering a free 1 week programme in Birmingham for young people aged 16-30.
This is a great opportunity for young people interested in IT and Web Design.
During the programme young people will:
- Learn the basics of web design and how to create your own blog or website
- Work with the ASOS Digital team and learn from IT professionals
- Get creative and design web content from scratch including text, images, coding, editing, layout
- Meet new people, build confidence and develop employability skills.
- Learn about the variety of IT roles in online companies and the different routes into them
- Travel expenses and lunch provided
Young people don’t need to have any previous experience in Web Design, just an interest in this area.

Young people will gain expert training from the ASOS Digital team in how to create a website and a blog, and other aspects of IT security, coding and creating online presence. They will get lots of opportunities to be creative and design their a website from scratch. Activities will include teamwork, confidence-building and practical employability training.
The YP will work on a project across the whole week so need to attend all 5 days in order to gain the most from it and help get their project to completion.
