Jobs and skills
HS2 is more than a railway, it is an investment in Britain’s future. We are upskilling Britain, providing new jobs and new long-term careers for people from every part of the UK.
There are now more than 30,000 jobs supported by the programme and more than 3,500 British businesses have delivered work on HS2 so far. Over 1,300 of the 2,000 expected apprentices have already taken their first career steps on the project.
The construction of Britain’s new high-speed railway will produce a legacy of highly-skilled and experienced work force who will help UK industry to flourish in the future, at home and abroad.
As construction continues at pace between the West Midlands and London, HS2 and its contractors are actively recruiting hundreds of new roles.
