What did the officials say?

Tricia Wright, Chief People Officer at TfL, said:

“TfL is driven by a passionate and skilled workforce who continue to keep our city moving and evolving – making life better for millions of people every day. We’re looking for inquisitive, enthusiastic individuals who reflect London’s diversity to join our apprenticeship programme in a range of areas, such as engineering, signalling and project controls. You don’t need to be an expert in transport already – as long as you want to learn new skills and make a positive impact on people’s lives in London every day, you’ll fit right in.”

Bethany Cracknell, Civil Engineering Apprentice at TfL, said:

“I have always known I wanted to become a Chartered Engineer and this apprenticeship is the first step in this process. I’ve always enjoyed problem solving and being inventive. Being an engineer allows me to use these skills to help improve transport in London. I’ve only been in the role a few months, but I know I’m growing in confidence. I have already chaired team meetings and presented to my team.”
