Description
According to Engineering UK, Britain will need at least 182,000 people with engineering skills each year until 2022 to deliver major projects such as HS2.*
The UK rail industry is rapidly growing with record levels of investment and a host of major projects either on the horizon or happening now. Given these current developments, addressing the skills required to approach current technical challenges and to plan for future developments has never been more essential.
This year’s Young Engineers’ Railway Seminar will equip those at the early stages of their careers with the knowledge required to thrive in this dynamic industry. Find out how senior rail experts are managing the challenges that innovation brings and make invaluable contacts with your peers and senior railway industry figures.
