Part two, What interests young people?
Survey among students and traineesWhy the railways:Get a job, building the future, technical sector, environmentally friendly, heavy investments from the state budget, opportunities for women.
What was the perception of the railways before beginning?
Negative media coverage – the trains must run!The railways should communicate betterLots of exciting technical challengesThe image in the media and the reality is not the same thing
Did the view of the railways change during training?The longevity of the railway – investments last for a long timeVery complex sectorHeavy technical sectorImportant with good relations between all parties to make the sector work
How to market the railways to young people
A very versatile sector – many different jobsEnvironmentally friendlyBetter paid jobs than in house constructionYou are always on the moveA sector where you can develop the societyLarge possibilities to develop on the job
Thank you for your attention!
