Springpod Routes into Rail: Virtual Work Experience

Discover the rail industry through Springpod’s virtual work experience programme, which introduces you to the range of roles that keep rail moving. You’ll explore careers from driving and engineering to digital, data analytics, sustainability management, and professional services, gaining a broad understanding of how the sector works and the skills different jobs require.

The programme is designed around interactive learning rather than passive viewing. You’ll complete quizzes, myth-busting activities, and practical tasks that help build your knowledge step by step, while also hearing from industry professionals.

It is intended to help you understand how people enter rail and to highlight routes you may not have considered before.

By the end of the experience, you will have completed a cumulative project and earned a downloadable certificate of completion. The programme is flexible and can be completed on demand, with live talks available as recordings, making it suitable for students who want to explore career options at their own pace.
