Episode 16: Attracting young people into a career in rail
In Episode 16 of Active Training Team’s Podcast, our Director Adam Christopher explores the challenges and opportunities facing the UK rail industry as it looks to attract its future workforce. Speaking with young apprentices, site managers, and industry leaders at the Transpennine Route Upgrade project, the episode reveals how few young people are aware of careers in rail, the strong role of family influence, and the pride and purpose many find in the sector.
With rail being one of the key industries ATT supports—particularly through the Huddersfield Safety Leadership Centre, TRUST — this episode highlights the urgent need for better outreach, education, and safety culture to secure the next generation of rail professionals.
