TRANSIT program

TRANSIT is an initiative to showcase employment opportunities in transport to workers from declining industries, including former automotive workers.

Program participants will learn about the breadth of opportunities available across the rail and public transport sector including rolling stock manufacturing, plant maintenance and operations.

The program focuses on practical, job ready skills and training required to work within a construction and railway environment.

An initiative of the Level Crossing Removal Project, in consultation with Metro Trains Melbourne, TRANSIT forms part of the Training for the Future program.

What can participants expect?
