It is important for the sustainable growth of the railway sector to identify and promote young talent at an early stage. Vocational Education is a comprehensive long-term program for a sustainable competence development and that has a long tradition in Germany. It links school education with in-company development. As such, Deutsche Bahn invests heavily in its vocational education and combines theoretical courses, practical and on-the-job trainings to ensure that all newcomers are perfectly qualified for the transportation sector.
