Transport Museum hosts free Skills Late to help young people kickstart their careers
The London Transport Museum hopes to help young Londoners kickstart their careers in transport, engineering, and technology. To that end, it has announced a free Skills Late event on Thursday, 30th January, 2025.
Anyone aged 16 to 25, along with friends, family, parents, and guardians, are invited to join in the event at the Covent Garden museum where they will meet recruiting employees and discover more about the opportunities within engineering, as well as London’s transport and infrastructure industry.
Businesses with entry-level vacancies, apprenticeships, or training opportunities will also be on hand to offer any information and answer questions. These include Transport for London (TfL), ABM, Hitachi Rail, Telent, and the Mitie Foundation.
“Evidence suggests the nation’s transport industry and supply chain face major engineering and green skills shortages – particularly as demand for new green skills grows with the UK focused on hitting net zero carbon,” said a press release from the Transport Museum. “This Skills Late helps break down barriers for young Londoners – including those from a broad range of educational experiences and those underrepresented in these industries – showing them that careers in transport, engineering and technology can be for them.”
Skills Late: Talent Transported is part of the museum’s Enjoyment to Employment programme, “a collective response looking beyond the short-term to secure the future of the transport industry by tackling the growing green skills shortage.”
Enjoyment to Employment promises to be a unique opportunity for companies seeking to deliver meaningful corporate social responsibility, and support career pathways for the next generation of transport and engineering talent in London. The programme includes Route into Work, a programme that helps over 100 young people every year to develop key employability skills and provide the opportunity to present what they have learned to an employer in the transport industry with live job vacancies.
Skills Late: Talent Transported runs on Thursday, 30th January, from 18:30 to 21:00. Tickets are free but places are limited so advance booking is essential.
