Network Rail Advanced Apprenticeships

Applications are now open for our Advanced Apprentice Scheme- find out more, apply and talk to current apprentices!

Britain relies on rail. Every day Network Rail gets 3 million people to their destination and thousands of tonnes of goods moved around the country. Rail is a greener and safer mode of transport so it's no surprise that our railway has seen passenger numbers increase more than 40% in the past decade alone. These numbers are expected to double by 2034. That means we have to run more trains, more often and more efficiently. And we need even more talented people on board to efficiently handle that challenge. Join our Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme and you could be doing a critical job within our business.
