The Young Railway Professionals (YRP) was formed to reach out to young people who are looking at the railway as a career choice and to those already in the industry who want to progress. It is our aim to inspire young people to see the wider rail industry and understand their role within the railway. We also hope to assist young people to network and build up links across the industry, benefiting your career in the long-term.

In our events section, you will find a list of current and relevant events that will be of interest to young people. We also have an active YRP discussion forum, as well as details on our website of how to join one of our parent organisations.

We hope you find this site useful and if you have any feedback or would like to contact us, please use our online form.
