In the report, Van de Kerkhof and Vermeij share their findings on the image, diversity, ageing, sustainability and innovations in the rail sector, as well as present recommendations on how to inspire and attract new talent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the report, the ambassadors state, among other things, that the rail sector has an unjustified outdated image among young people. The sustainable and innovative nature of the railways should therefore be brought much more to the attention of young people in general and (young) women in particular. With these Rail Cargo Ambassadors presenting the final report on European Year of Youth,<\/p>\n

In the highly diverse railway sector, they say, partly thanks to digitalisation, challenging and meaningful jobs are available for everyone. However, the structural staff shortage limits the potential of the European rail system to make transport more sustainable. Van de Kerkhof and Vermeij call on the sector to actively involve the young generation in the cross-border collaborations and digital innovations that increase available rail capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to get so many enthusiastic reactions from young people when I told them about sustainable innovations in rail,\u201d said Van de Kerkhof, who works as International Affairs Manager at technology company Dual Inventive. \u201cThe train is the mode of transport of the future and youth is the future of rail. So let\u2019s continue to inspire young people with all the wonderful, digital innovations that improve international rail transport, because unknown makes unloved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vermeij, project development manager at Rail Innovators Group, adds that it is incredibly important to present the rail industry at its best to the new generation. \u201cThis industry has so much to offer: an international working area, a lot of cooperation and innovation. Show what you have to offer\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018More important than ever to get young people excited about a job in rail\u2019<\/h2>\n

State Secretary Heijnen said it is nice to see these rail ambassadors drawing attention to making rail attractive to young people. \u201cIt is more important than ever to get young people excited about a job in the rail sector. After all, the future of rail starts with young people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report marks the conclusion of a successful year in which the rail ambassadors encouraged young people to choose a job in the rail sector and took steps to improve the industry\u2019s image. As speakers, Van de Kerkhof and Vermeij delivered their message at numerous national and international events, including RailTech Europe, the RailFreight Summit, Railfestival and UIC World Congress on Rail Training. To reach their young target group, they spoke to students at several colleges and InnoTrans. Van de Kerkhof also organised visits to politicians and policymakers in Brussels and The Hague together with Jonge Veranderaars for students and young professionals.<\/p>\n

The European Commission declared 2022 as the European Year of Youth in order to highlight the importance of youth in building a better future, which is sustainable, inclusive and digital. The rail industry plays a crucial role in this as it offers the solution to make transport more sustainable. This makes rail an attractive sector for young people, who increasingly value sustainability.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”75″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”related-post” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
