The
British Horseracing Authority
Graduate
Development Programme
The Graduate Development
Programme has been running now for well
over 10 years and continues to offer a selection
of placements to 16-18 students.
The Programme is intended
for students who have recently completed
their degree or who are currently undertaking
their final year. It is only suitable for
those who have a really serious interest
in a career in racing, or in a connected
industry such as bookmaking or breeding.
The paid placements with
key industry organisations will be preceded
by a residential course at the British Racing
School in Newmarket during the first two
weeks in July. One purpose of the course
is to encourage participants to discover
how serious their interest is and help develop
their career aspirations. Another is to
show how the many parts of the very complex
racing industry interlock, and to give students
as much knowledge as possible of the various
institutions and interests within it. We
generally find this extra knowledge helps
most delegates to perform well when applying
for permanent jobs in racing.
In most cases the employer
has no preference regarding subject. What
is required is an excellent academic standard
combined with enthusiasm, interest and energy.
