NIS speaks to insider media

NIS have been featured in an Insider Media article celebrating the launch of the Transport, Rail and Infrastructure Academy. A rail training academy designed to support hundreds of new training and employment opportunities has been launched in the West Midlands.

The Transport, Rail and Infrastructure Academy (TRIA), which has been developed by ourselves and the City of Wolverhampton College, will give individuals entry and advanced skills required to gain sustainable jobs, whilst also meeting the demand for skilled operatives to work in the construction and maintenance of train lines, tram routes and stations.

The launch took place at TRIA's new site at the Black Country Innovative Manufacturing Organisation's (BCIMO) Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre in Dudley, where the mayor Andy Street also cut the ribbon on a new Signalling Academy.

The full article is available below and details the transformative impacts we are set out to achieve through the academy for the region’s people and infrastructure.

The fantastic article details the extension of our long-term partnership with McGinley Support Services, who have worked with NIS to train over 50 apprentices in the Midlands, a figure which is set to double in 2024 as HS2 moves into its next phase. You can view the full article online here:
