There is more demand for specialist engineers and technicians than ever before. However there is a significant skills gap, and our industry is neither young enough nor diverse enough to meet this demand.

The National College is dedicated to the health and prosperity of the rail industry and will help create a workforce fit for the future of rail.

We will do so by providing courses that combine classroom teaching with hands-on, real-life project experience and embedding work-ready skills, personal attributes and service design into everything we do.

Get involved

To achieve this, we need to work with the industry – it is vital to ensure the skills developed at the college are those that will move the rail industry forward and make high speed rail a reality.

Find out about becoming a National College partner and sign up to our leadership pledge. We’re also encouraging businesses that will be subject to the Government’s apprenticeship levy from April 2017 to invest with us.
