I’m always on the look out for new and interesting ways the employers are using to recruit grads and this offering really stands out. Track & Train is an initiative by the rail industry to attract new talent to it. It’s open to those who’ve graduated in the last two years. It’s an 18 month program that involves placements with a number of rail industry sponsors. It’s got a similar recruitment process to many grad schemes (online application form, assessment centre etc.). The money on offer is very competitive (£22k per annum) and things are moving quickly (application deadline Jan 27th, assessment days in Feb and March and start dates shortly after).
It stands out because I’ve never heard of an industry running it’s own program. Will be interesting to see which other industries might follow suit.
