For the participants: The project will contribute to personal development and also increase the professional knowledge and educational level regarding safety-critical railway operations. Additionally, it will help to progress collaboration and cooperation between partners.
For the participating organizations: Each project partner will submit their study to evaluate and understand relevant educational actions from the safety-critical operations point of view in their own countries. In this way, interoperability and harmonizing issues for safety-critical operations will be optimized according to the diversified data from the partners from different countries. In addition, the prepared education modules, training materials, and software that are supporting the education modules will be supplied to the related institutions and organizations, particularly public and private institutions in order to educate the workforce that will be employed in the future. With the project, a systematic educational programme will be formed in the railway industry which requires intensive knowledge and experience on the modules, such as railroad construction, railway electrification, and signaling systems, railroad transportation management etc.
For the target groups: The main target groups of the project are vocational education and training students, and current railway personnel in the public and private sector. People working in the field of the railway are required to have a certain set of skills and education in most developed countries, especially in EU countries. Thus, making the job definitions and qualifications correctly and putting these job descriptions and qualifications in a certain standard will provide a great benefit to safety-critical railway operations. It will be one of the most important achievements of this project to initiate the education of well-equipped staff that will enhance the safe and sustainable railway transportation in the coming years. This will create a great opportunity for a new professional path for vocational education and training students, and strengthening the well-directed and on-point employment rate of the current and prospective personnel in this field.
