Skills
The European rail supply industry faces several challenges related to skills, ranging from an aging workforce to needing to shape and promote the industry as more dynamic than it currently is perceived as a strategy to attract young people, women and those seeking a change in careers. The rapidly changing environment that railway sector operates demands the swift uptake of new skills and the inclusion of professionals capable of coping with the demands of digitalisation, increasing innovation and the green transition.
Partnering with the European Alliance for Apprenticeships (EAfA)
A signatory of the Alliance’s pledge, UNIFE has demonstrated its commitment to the further development and improvement of skills through VET programmes and apprenticeship programmes that serve as essential career entry points. These educational institutions and the early professional guidance they provide are quintessential to equipping Europeans with the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) capabilities needed to design, implement and deploy rail products that enable the digital, green transition that underwrites future economic development.
