Jenny, Rail Engineering Skills Bootcamp

I joined the Stanmore Rail Engineering Bootcamp, funded by the Mayor of London, to gain real hands-on experience in the rail industry. My background in theatre and retail built my communication skills, but I wanted a more practical, physical career where I could learn by doing. My goal is to work with National Rail and support the HS2 (High Speed Rail Network) project. The bootcamp has given me essential skills in track maintenance, rail infrastructure, and working with real equipment. Our tutor, has been incredibly supportive, meeting and visiting employers has been motivating. The group has been welcoming and diverse from day one. This course has boosted my confidence and helped me step out of my comfort zone. My advice: come with a clear goal and stay focused. It’s a fantastic opportunity, and I’m grateful to be part of it.
