TRAINING & RECRUITMENT
An innovative new approach to apprenticeship training is currently proving a hit with young people from London and industry experts alike, says Louise McCallum, general manager at Train’d Up.
An in-house apprenticeship pro- gramme, delivered in the work- place for apprentices aged be- tween 16-24, has been developed in partnership between national training provider Train’d Up and Tube Lines (a subsidiary of Trans- port for London – TfL).

Bill Alexander, head of training & skills at the National Skills Acad- emy for Railway Engineering (NSARE), added: “Both Train’d Up and Tube Lines deserve recogni- tion for this innovative approach to matching the training needs of the individual learner, with the practical requirements of the employer.”
We use skilled trainers who have a sound occupational background and up-to-date industry experience.
By working closely with employ- ers, we can ensure a high-quality curriculum that meets learners’ needs, but is also flexible enough to meet employers’ practical needs.
Steve Norris, skills and compe- tence manager at Tube Lines, said: “This new partnership ap- proach to delivering high quality in-house apprenticeship training ensures that those young peo-
The course’s success was cel- ebrated in December when repre- sentatives from NSARE and City & Guilds met with some of the apprentices as well as staff from both Train’d Up and Tube Lines.
