The National Skills Academy for Rail
Skills Live has gone live.
The brand new video based platform funded by UFI Trust and developed in partnership with Dept. for Work & Pensions and rail employers, including TfL, Network Rail, Bombardier, East Midlands Trains
and Colas Rail will enable employers to connect with young people who may not have considered careers in rail.
The platform aims to be instrumental in inspiring the next generation of employees whilst encouraging diversity in rail.
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.
