In April 2015, the ScotRail franchise was awarded to Abellio Group to operate. Its business is like a family – it works together to support all of its colleagues. ScotRail really believe in hiring young people like you. It thinks the DofE is hugely important and believes the DofE is giving all employers young people with the attitudes, talents and skills to really succeed in the workplace.

“ScotRail really believe in the DofE, so much so that all our modern apprentices are given the opportunity to do their Gold Award with us. The DofE encourages and develops self-belief, motivation, determination and how to overcome difficult situations with innovative thinking, all of which are skills expected from our staff.”
