Virgin Media has teamed up with Enterprise UK Today’s to launch a new youth mentoring scheme called Virgin Media Pioneers.

The plan is to  bring together business experts and entrepreneurs  in an online community, which will be conducting  a series of skills development sessions and networking events to help support the enterprising activity taking place online and to eventually  help build better businesses and close the gap between the number of young people with a great idea and those who are able to make it happen, also instituted is an annual award ceremony to recognise the achievements of the Pioneer community.

““The digital world can open up new opportunities and experiences for people from all backgrounds and, as a brand founded in entrepreneurial ambition, our partnership with Enterprise UK will help create an online environment that supports the needs of all potential entrepreneurs.” said Neil Berkett, chief executive at Virgin Media.
