Press release
UK Open Learning in Jackson partnership
UK Open Learning, one of the UK’s most prestigious and successful distance learning companies based in Whitehaven, has recently joined forces with Jermaine Jackson’s charitable trust. The intention is once every 3 months to offer one young person between the ages of 16 and 24 a free course from UK Open Learning’s extensive range of courses. As with all their courses, the lucky student will be given extensive course materials and tutor support for a period of a year. There will be no cost to the student.
The successful student will be chosen by Jermaine himself based on the application details.
Applicants should be:
· between the ages of 16 and 24
· not in Education, Employment or Training
· have the desire to gain a qualification and move on with a career
They should complete the application form stating why they are applying and their current situation. They will need to state why they want the scholarship and the qualification, and how they intend to use it. In addition, they should include the names and contact details of two referees who can comment on their ability and their potential. Family members would not be acceptable as referees, of course.
This is an exciting possibility for one young person a month to prove to any employer or training provider that they haven’t stood still since they last attended school, college or became unemployed. In addition, it will be evidence that they have gained important knowledge in their chosen subject area that they can use if they move on to a vocational qualification.
They will also have the added glamour of the Jackson name attached to their story.
