Itโs days like today that gives me fulfilment in my role.
I always said if I could give back I would. However, most of the credit today goes to Chris Humes for getting the contact within the Renfrewshire council and creating an opportunity to pitch them our idea of getting the unemployed a chance in the railway sector.
Chris and I explained our backgrounds, our personal success stories in the rail industry, who Nelson Track Solutions are and how the listeners today could also make a great career happen for themselves in the rail sector.
Iโm now delighted to announce the Renfrewshire council liked our pitch today and have decided to fund 5 candidates with their PTS / Small tools / track induction / fire safety certs and Medicals. This will be a test pilot run and if successful funding will continue.
For an industry that is facing a huge skills shortage this is a great first step to finding funding from local councils to help us close the skills gap that will only continue to grow if we donโt bring in new people.
Let the interviews beginโฆ ๐ ๐จ ๐ง
This morning we had Jordan and Chris from Nelson Track Solutions in to talk to our clients about what it's like to work on the railways! The information session included discussion on what training is required and the different types of roles that are available.
