Student life is fantastic! Learning,
meeting people and the opportunity to change your life are just some of its
benefits. However, the cost may be a barrier for some.
From this September, a group of lucky
students will have the opportunity to have their university tuition fees paid
for them as part of Virgin Trains’ new Red Track programme.
The successful applicants will be able to start their business
careers with little or not debt plus three
years first class work experience under their belt with one of the world’s best
known brands.
Starting on 2 September 2013, Virgin Trains is offering 12
places on its prestigious Virgin Red Track programme. It’s a three-year,
fixed-term full-time role that incorporates a degree programme delivered in
conjunction with Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) in Crewe.
Tony Collins, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Trains,
explains:
“Too many graduates face poor job opportunities and are
laden with debt when they graduate. We want to offer an amazing opportunity to
the bright, talented entrepreneurs of the future who might be put off studying
for a degree by the cost.”
