Go-Ahead Group's multi-million-pound investment focuses on engineering skill development for 900 engineers in the UK and Ireland. This initiative is aligned with the company's aim for a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035. Two new engineering academies in London and Greater Manchester will support apprenticeship programs and enhance current engineering skills. Apprentices will receive classroom and on-the-job training, gaining qualifications while earning wages. The program promotes gender diversity, with 20% of the first apprentices being women, highlighting the importance of engineering roles in the transportation sector.
