Navigating the skills shortages: Annual rail workforce survey 2023

An in-depth look at the UK rail workforce. Rail is not keeping up with other sectors in improving productivity. To find out why this is, from a workforce and skills perspective, we need to investigate supply and demand for skills, education and training – and why we are not attracting people to work in rail. With the Rail Workforce Survey data, NSAR can build the most complete and ccurate representation of the UK rail workforce, enabling the industry, businesses and government to set direction and create informed skills strategies. The Rail Workforce Survey findings show us where skills shortages will be and where we will have to focus our training and recruitment efforts.
