Young Rail Professionals

Most members of Young Rail Professionals (YRP) tell us they ended up working in rail purely by chance. We never imagined ourselves working on transformative projects to move millions of people, shift tonnes of freight and sustain communities and the wider economy.

Rail is an incredible industry in which to forge a career with a great community to help young people to develop professionally. No matter what your background, there’s a career for almost anyone in rail.

Through Railweek we want to help other young people to realise they could find a career in rail too. It is an opportunity for the industry to showcase rail at its best and be to proud of what we do.

YRP is made up of several local committees around the UK and Ireland. Through its networking events, technical talk, annual dinner and Railweek, its aim is to:

• promote the rail industry as a great place to work
• inspire the next generation of railway talent
• develop young people to reach their potential.
