Hi all,
I'm in my final year studying BA history at the University of Sussex, I've always had an interest in the railways and have been looking into the Network Rail graduate schemes. The Operations and General Management course seems the most appealing to me but I've heard from a few people and read online that it's a very hard industry to get into. I've worked as a delivery driver and a retail manager so I'm not sure if I stand a chance without any rail experience
I've been doing a lot of online research but I wanted to ask whether anyone had any advice or point me in the direction of any resources that may be beneficial. As well as this I was also wondering:
What degrees are favourable to Network Rail employers?
What sort of transferable skills do they usually look for?
And if I'm successful (here's hoping) after completing the course what job roles do the graduates typically go into?
Thank you and sorry for the long post!
Jack.
