we ensure that the skills we equip our learners with meet the demands and the skills shortages of the broader advanced transport and infrastructure sector. The latest figures published by the Strategic Transport Apprenticeship Taskforce estimate that 50,000 more people are needed in rail; 41,000 to fill roles on the road network; and 180,000 to deliver the Heathrow Expansion project. There is huge demand across the sectors and the name change reflects our dedication to delivering and developing our curriculum to meet industry demands.” NCATI will look to further develop the specialist pathways already delivered within a High-Speed Rail context to fulfil the demands across the wider transport and infrastructure sectors, ensuring that the College remains industry-led and industry- focused. Clair added: “Across both transport and
infrastructure sectors the use of modern techniques, digitalisation and the latest technology is becoming increasingly prevalent, with a growing demand from industry for a highly technical skillset, which the College is ideally placed to deliver. The nature of the work across the sectors is changing, and our new name now reflects the great opportunity available within the industry.”
