Network Rail, HS2, the Rail Delivery Group, the National Skills Academy for Rail and TfL are members of STAT. So far, over 5000 apprenticeships have been created in road and rail bodies.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2017, the Department for Transport has used its procurement to drive apprenticeship numbers through contracts, including those within the rail industry.</p><p> </p><p>Manchester's Growth Strategy is looking to maximise skills to make the most of the opportunities that HS2 will bring to the area and sets out aspirations to develop a skilled workforce through close work ‘with the four Universities within Greater Manchester to provide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills through higher apprenticeship, graduate and post-graduate qualifications in close partnership with industry.</p><p> </p><p>Rail, like many other industries, have set out their interest in developing a Sector Deal and have been working across the industry and with government to develop their proposal. We expect a focus on skills and apprenticeships to form a key part of a Rail Sector Deal.</p><p> </p><p>We have also this year been running the Year of Engineering to increase the number and diversity of engineers across the UK and to address the engineering skills gap.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 04/12/2018 14:24:42 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
