The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scoops prestigious gong for its role in developing young people’s skills at work

Leading youth charity The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) has won the Education and Training trophy in The Charity Awards 2012 in recognition of its work with young employees.

The DofE was chosen for its outstanding training initiative for young employees and trainees, DofE Business. DofE Chief Executive Peter Westgarth was presented with the trophy by singer Barbara Dickson and Corporal Johnson Beharry vc.

The Charity Awards, sponsored by The Times, is the sector’s most prestigious excellence recognition scheme. Winners were announced at a glittering presentation dinner held at the Grosvenor House Hotel last night (14 June).

Peter Westgarth, the DofE’s Chief Executive, said:
“We are delighted to have won this Award. We are very proud of our work with businesses in the UK, giving apprentices and young recruits the chance to do their Duke of Edinburgh's Award through their employer, while enabling us to widen our reach in the UK.

“This is a huge honour for our Charity, at a time when young people need all the help they can get to realise their potential and develop essential skills for life and work.”

The DofE works with a wide range of UK businesses allowing their employees, trainees, graduates and apprentices to benefit from a life-changing Gold DofE Award programme. In return, businesses support the Charity’s growth through donations that enable many more young people from all backgrounds to do their DofE in the wider community.

Companies that run DofE Business have found it speeds up young people’s development, makes them better at their jobs, and develops the skills, attitudes and attributes that employers are crying out for in their workforce: commitment, communication skills, leadership and teamwork.

The DofE partners with a wide range of employers, giving them the chance to offer the DofE to their young workforce. This year alone, 99 young apprentices and employees from British Gas, Tesco, Amey and Lloyds Banking Group received their Gold DofE Awards at special presentation events with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.

The donation is contributed through a regular global recruitment survey named “Antal Global Snapshot”, which shows hiring (and firing) trends in some of the world’s most important employment markets and in those likely to join this group over the coming decade. For every electronic survey completed, here in China Antal International donated money to the ACF. We thank all those who took part in the last edition!

Akina Shen, Fundraising Director says: “Our center will not be existing without support from friends, volunteers and donors. As you can see, how lucky our ECD kids are since they can get 4 hours of quality time from their Moms four days a week because of our ECD program, which is a luxury gift for urban kids. Thank you again for your time, kindness, friendship and financial support.”
