Godolphin Flying Start Program Opens Applications For 2021

The Godolphin Flying Start Program has announced that applications are open now, from Tuesday Dec. 1, 2020 until Monday Feb. 8, 2021, for the 2021-2023 selection of Godolphin Flying Start trainees. This year they have opened the online portal a month earlier than normal to allow potential applicants more time to put together their applications in a process that has been made more streamlined than ever before.

“It is fantastic that we have been able to deliver the first and second year course during these unprecedented times,” said Clodagh Kavanagh, Executive Director of Godolphin Flying Start. “Trainees have had many of the same experiences as previous year groups as well as enhanced virtual learning and technology. By August 2021, when the new intake of Godolphin Flying Start trainees are due to commence the course, we will be able to deliver the best of our traditional and of our newly developed training and networking capabilities. We look forward to receiving their applications over the coming months.”

Founded in 2003 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum of Dubai, Godolphin Flying Start is a two-year full time international management and leadership program for the Thoroughbred industry and takes trainees to work and study in five countries around the globe. Twelve candidates are selected every year for this unique opportunity that is almost fully paid for including course fees, accommodation, transport, health insurance and a monthly allowance.

The program introduces trainees to many different aspects of the Thoroughbred industry and allows them to gain hands on experience as well as leadership and team building skills while taking various management classes. The goal of Godolphin Flying Start is to create leaders and contribute to the long term success of the Thoroughbred industry.
