What process will people go through? Applications will be made via an online form that will be available from February 12, 2014 for one month. Anyone can apply but we will be working with the RFU to provide information directly to clubs, CBs, societies, colleges and universities. We will select applicants for telephone interviews. We have decided against face-to-face interviews to reduce travel time and allow people to be interviewed when convenient to them. Interviews will be available during the day, on weekdays and weekends and also in the evening. Applicants who successfully come through the interview process will then be invited to a training day. We will schedule these to avoid clashes with matches and club training and will hold them in, or close to, the Try Out venues. Members of the VIP will then be deployed to Try Out venues for their chosen shifts. There is scope to adjust these during the programme if required. We will stay in touch with people throughout the process and will be working with the Area Delivery Teams to direct people back into the Game at a local level once their involvement with VIP comes to an end, or during the programme should they be unable to continue for any reason.
