Investing in talent
Britain's new high-speed railway
We’re investing in the future by welcoming a new generation of apprentices and graduates to help shape this once-in-a-lifetime project.
Our programmes develop the skills needed to build the railway and create a pipeline of talent for major infrastructure projects now and in the future.
Apprenticeships open doors to careers
From engineering and design to business and digital, HS2 apprenticeships are helping people across the country take their first steps into exciting careers.
To date, 1,922 apprentices have joined the project. We’re almost at our 2,000 apprentices target, but we want to go even further – so get in touch and help us launch even more careers in construction.
Graduate placements provide experience and opportunities
The programmes are designed to help graduates develop a broad understanding of major infrastructure project delivery. Graduates will complete six-month rotational placements aligned to their programme discipline, working in areas such as project management, engineering, environment and commercial.
125 graduates have already joined the project. We continue to invest in new graduates to help close the skills gap. These professionals will build major infrastructure projects for decades to come.
What can I expect?
You’ll gain skills that last beyond HS2 and are valued on infrastructure projects worldwide.
We provide training, mentoring and qualifications recognised across the construction industry.
Roles offer competitive salaries, pension contributions and the opportunity to work on Britain’s biggest transport infrastructure project.
