If you’re thinking about returning to work or have not been given a chance to fulfil your potential, then this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Never Mind the Gap is a Women in Rail initiative designed to provide free training and work placements for women in the East Midlands who want to get their career on track.

You’ll have the chance to get work experience at some incredible local rail companies who are excited about showing you how rewarding a career in rail can be.
