Abstract

The rail sector is facing a shortage of skilled workers and needs more professionals who are able to respond to the sector’s future needs. This work presents the ASTONRail handbook developed in the ERASMUS+ funded project ASTONRail. The ASTONRail handbook should function as a supporting tool for the modernization of rail higher education and as a result recruitment of more students into rail-related study courses. The work describes the implementation and functions of the handbook and what it offers for its user groups to support the modernization of rail higher education and the recruitment of more young professionals to the rail sector.
