Employment and skills in the rail sector: Impact analysis of Shift2Rail’s innovation programmes
report
S2R is an innovation initiative of the European Union and the railway sector for new technologies into the railway sector. The results of this S2R-innovation initiative need to be implemented into the sector over time. The S2R-initiative consist of five major Innovation Programmes (IPs) that themselves consists of a set of demonstrations of technical achievements: Technology Demonstrators (TDs), Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs) and System Platform Demonstrators (SPDs. It is clear that the results of the innovation programmes will have an impact on the skill requirements of many occupations in the rail value chain. The aim of this report (D2) is to identify skill gaps in the railway sector connected to these IPs and TDs. To identify skill gaps, an analysis of the skill requirements is made for each of the IPs. This analysis consists of a best-estimation of the impacts of S2R IPs on the required skills within the sector. An assessment will also be given on the whole rail value chain.
