Rail needs tens of thousands more professionals over the coming years to keep up with passenger demand and government investment. Be a part of the next generation of the rail industry! Routes into Rail is an initiative run by the rail industry to provide advice and information on the wide range of careers offered in the rail industry. The rail industry is so much more than train drivers and station personnel. Whether you want to work in IT, engineering, business, sustainability – or driving trains! – there’s a route into rail for you. Join us for this 15-minute webinar to find out more about rail careers and how to get started. It will consist of fun and informative videos (including a ‘day in the life’ with a young rail apprentice), a myth-busting quiz and an opportunity to ask questions. It is aimed at GCSE and A-level students but will also be suitable for a younger audience. Find out about:

• Rail careers you might not have considered.
• Different entry pathways and the grades you’ll need.
• Apprenticeships.
• Work experience.
• Salaries in rail.
• Diversity in rail.

The webinar will also be recorded and available to watch after the event.
