Go Ahead Group-owned Thamesdown Transport is showing its support for the local leisure travel industry by providing apprentices with a month’s free travel.
The Swindon bus operator is backing five apprentices for future success by sponsoring them through the Generation Gains Programme.
Alex Chutter, General Manager at Thamesdown, says: “These young professionals hold great potential in an industry that is very important.
“Their commitment and drive make them tremendous prospects for the future, so it seems right to offer them extra support. We’ll be following their progress very closely.”
The Generation Gains Programme will provide adapted sporting activities, aimed at reducing social isolation for older people, delivered by young people through an apprenticeship scheme.
“The apprentices will be working in the community travelling to different locations throughout Swindon over the next two years,” says John Popowicz, Project Manager for the Generation Gains Programme.
