Shortlist Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Amey Consulting Rail Degree Apprenticeship Programme Recognising a growing skills shortage and a need for greater diversity in the rail industry, Amey Consulting collaborated with Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) to develop the UK’s first Rail Degree Apprenticeship, providing an accessible route into the industry for the next generation of consulting engineers. Partnering with SHU, Amey offer a 4-year degree apprenticeship programme delivered via academic study block modules coupled with on the job, real project experience in a professional consulting environment. Successful completion of the apprenticeship leads to a BEng in Railway Engineering and IET accreditation. The introduction of this pioneering degree provides an opportunity for entry into the profession for a wider range of people and those for whom the traditional degree route is not always practical, resulting in a more diverse workforce trained in the specific skills needed to develop and maintain our railways into the future.
