The rail sector is experiencing an aging workforce that is approaching a well-deserved retirement, while rail enterprises, in many European Member States, are reporting difficulties to find railway engineers. Educational and training pathways are essential to prepare students, transitioning employees and current rail professionals for fulfilling and impactful careers in the sector for the coming decades. The EU project STAFFER, "Skill Training Alliance For the Future European Rail system" is the Erasmus+ Sector Skills Alliance for rail consisting of 31 full partners and 17 associated partners from 12 EU countries.STAFFER is aimed at developing a holistic Blueprint strategy to recognize present and new skill needs suitably and timely.In synergy with the European Year of Skills, a common methodology for the identification of current and future skills and competence needs for the whole complex rail system is developed.
