10 Network Rail Apprentices are Sought

There are around 240 places available on the 2013 Network Rail advanced apprenticeship scheme, 10 of which are based in Scoland, and chief executive David Higgins wants parents, educators and young people alike to realise the future career opportunities that an apprenticeship can bring, including a university education at work.

“There are many paths to achieve a successful career” says Higgins. Whether you join straight from school or after college or work, the apprenticeship programme can be the first step to a challenging career.

An apprenticeship can also open doors to a university education. Whilst many apprentices go on to be team leaders and rise through the ranks, Network Rail also helps those who want to achieve further qualifications the chance to study part-time for a Higher National Certificate in engineering and then onto a foundation degree and a bachelors at Sheffield Hallam University.
