The National Skills Academy for Rail
Skills Live will go live online and through the Jobcentre plus network on 29th July 2019!
The brand new platform uses video to bring to life a variety of job roles within rail. The user can learn more about the skills of a role by watching a series of short videos that are linked to a job specification.
Users who work their way through the video content will be directed to a career opportunity with an employer.
The Strategic Transport Apprenticeship Taskforce: 3 Year Progress Report has been published and marks the latest in a series of annual reports setting out progress against ambitions from the government’s 2016 Transport infrastructure skills strategy, as well as information on the diversity of those undertaking apprenticeships.
NSAR understands a more skilled workforce increases the chances of upward socially mobility. Members of the Strategic Transport Apprenticeship Taskforce (STAT) have developed a “Driving Social Mobility in Transport” Leaflet.
The document sets out good practice examples to improve and champion social mobility in the transport sector. It aims to promote pre-employment training opportunities and is a guide for employers on how to get involved.
NSAR is working with a number of
strategic partners to address the shortfall seen in the UK in data analytics and data science capability. With continuous technological advancements, the need to analyse data and be able to make key strategic decision on findings becomes ever more critical for today’s industries.

NSAR helps its members globally by working with the national governments, industrial partners and blue chip organisations providing a range of skills related services targeted at the promotion and development of technical and vocational skills education and training in support of national industrial strategies.
