ScotRail has welcomed its largest-ever group of new apprentices, with 46 positions created across a wide range of roles.<\/p>\n

The train operator\u2019s latest intake of new apprentices includes opportunities in engineering, customer service, business support, and graduate apprenticeships, offering both school leavers and existing employees a route into a rewarding rail career.<\/p>\n

The new group includes 42 external applicants and four internal colleagues progressing through upskilling opportunities.<\/p>\n

It takes ScotRail\u2019s total number of apprentices to 92 – the highest in the train operator\u2019s history, reinforcing the company\u2019s commitment to developing the next generation of railway talent.<\/p>\n

ScotRail apprenticeships offer a mix of practical experience, formal qualifications, and structured mentoring to support learning and development across the business.<\/p>\n

With apprentices currently based across engineering, administration, IT, customer service, and finance, ScotRail is working hard to make sure opportunities are accessible to young people from all backgrounds.
Four Customer Service Apprentices recently completed their 12-month programme and secured permanent roles within the business, which is testament to the quality of the scheme and the hard work of the individuals involved.<\/p>\n

More information on ScotRail\u2019s apprenticeship programme is available at scotrail.co.uk\/early-careers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ScotRail HR Director Julie Dale said: \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud to be welcoming our largest-ever intake of apprentices. It\u2019s a real investment in the future of Scotland\u2019s Railway.<\/p>\n

\u201cApprenticeships offer a brilliant route into the railway, helping us nurture the next generation of engineers, customer service colleagues, and business professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach new apprentice brings fresh energy, ideas, and ambition to our business, and we\u2019re committed to supporting them every step of the way and helping them thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
