LNER colleagues are sharing how apprenticeships have shaped their careers, in a celebration of their skills and contributions as part of National Apprenticeship Week. <\/p>\n

\u2018Skills for Life\u2019 is one of the themes for 2026, as businesses come together with current and former apprentices in a week-long celebration of the positive impact of apprenticeships on individuals and businesses alike. <\/p>\n

Among those sharing their story about the opportunities in the rail industry is engineer, Alexander Stark, who features alongside colleagues in a special short film created to mark Apprenticeship Week.  <\/p>\n

After making a positive impression on his rail engineer degree apprenticeship, Alexander was promoted to Production Support Engineer, working on the LNER InterCity 225 fleet: \u201cEver since I started my apprenticeship, working on the 225s was one of my goals from an engineering point of view.  <\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been such a great opportunity to learn from a really experienced team, and it has prepared me for working with different departments in high-pressure environments.\u201d <\/p>\n
