“ I ’ M WORKING ON THE FASTEST GROWING , SAFEST RAILWAY IN EUROPE .”

KARUN , LEVEL 3 ENGINEERING APPRENTICE
Hands-on experience , a competitive salary and impressive qualifications , without the extra cost and years in education that come with university .
That ’ s what an apprenticeship with Network Rail has to offer . Being able to combine world-class training with practical experience gives our apprentices the chance to build confidence , develop valuable skills and play a meaningful role on important projects .
The best of both worlds Just because an apprentice isn ’ t going to university , doesn ’ t mean they ’ ll miss out on the social side of things . All our apprenticeships start with a 12 week residential period at one of our training centres . So , they ’ ll be living , studying and socialising with a community of apprentices just like them .
This gives apprentices a great way to make friends in an environment that ’ s not completely dissimilar to spending a few months at university ( with the big difference being that all accommodation , tuition fees and three meals a day are all completely paid for ).
A great way to get ahead By the end of the programme , apprentices will have three years ’ experience , several qualifications and connections with some of the most talented people working in rail .
And most importantly , they ’ ll already have a job and be perfectly placed to take the next step in their career with us , whatever that may be .
