Early Career Development Event on 12th March 2026!
Hosted at the WSP office in The Mailbox, Birmingham, the event brought together students, graduates, and early-career professionals to hear from experienced industry speakers about their journeys, challenges, and insights from the rail sector.
A big thank you to our excellent speakers for sharing their experiences and advice:
🎤 DrKrishnan Venkateswaran – University of Birmingham
🎤Mark Wedley, MSc MIET – Network Rail
🎤Catherine Thompson – WSP
🎤Martyn Thomas – Siemens Mobility
Their perspectives on career development, digital railway technologies, operational modelling, and industry skills sparked some great discussions during the Q&A and networking session.
We would also like to thank WSP for hosting the event and supporting YRP in bringing together the next generation of rail professionals.
It was fantastic to see so many people engaging, asking questions, and connecting with others in the industry.
We look forward to organising more events like this soon!
