The project aims to ensure a skilled workforce in the future rail transport field, and to increase rail traffic attractiveness and competitiveness. Rail traffic training is planned and implemented during the project as a pilot, of which a participant feedback will be collected. The result of the project is a rail transportation training package relevant to working life, which can be integrated into the University of Applied Sciences continuing training provision and, where applicable, into part of the degree studies in business and logistics
