The four-day programme, run by The Training Initiative, aims to give 16- to 24-year-olds a taste of life in the armed forces and other uniformed services, including fire, ambulance and prison services, police forces and the coastguard.

Run by ex-paratrooper Jay Moore, the course offers an introduction to roles available and application processes, team building and communication skills, a fitness test and presentations by guest speakers.
