Skills Live is a brand new online platform that uses video to bring life to a variety of job roles within rail. The tool is a great way for rail employers to engage job seekers, recruit new talent and improve diversity. Users can learn more about the skills of a role by watching a series of short videos linked to a job specification. Those who work their way through the video content will be directed to a potential career opportunity with an employer.
Skills Live will enable employers to connect with more people who until now may not have considered a career in rail. It aims to be instrumental in inspiring the next generation of employees whilst encouraging diversity.
The video based platform has been funded by UFI Trust and developed in partnership with Dept. for Work & Pensions and rail employers, including TfL, Network Rail, Bombardier, East Midlands Trains and
Colas Rail.
