Education and training - Support against the railway industry's skills shortage

The railway industry plays an important role in our society. It enables us to move from one place to another quickly, safely and in an environmentally sustainable way, and is therefore an essential part of economic life. Like other technical professions, the railway industry is facing a shortage of skilled workers. This is mainly due to the fact that many highly qualified knowledge workers will retire in the coming years.

In addition, due to the currently very high and increasing number of passengers and the resulting shorter intervals between trains, the demand for highly qualified employees in the entire railway industry continues to rise. This exacerbates the problem of the shortage of skilled workers.

To ensure smooth and, above all, safe operations in the future, a sufficient number of qualified employees is required, and this is where the Railway Systems Academy plays its role. Young people with less professional experience must be trained up to the same level as their predecessors. We at voestalpine Railway Systems have more than 160 years of experience in the railway sector. This valuable knowledge is passed on to our customers and partners through the Railway Systems Academy, providing them with added value in addition to our system and product solutions. For this reason, we offer a comprehensive training program covering a wide range of railway systems, from turnout technology, rail technology to signaling systems, railway system maintenance, and much more. Our training courses are designed to provide our customers and partners with the expertise they need to meet the challenges of the railway industry.
