The Inclusive Trains project, developed together with Fundación Juan XXIII, has been selected among the projects to be funded by the Alstom Foundation this year. This initiative, aimed at improving the employability of people with intellectual disabilities, consists of the development and implementation of a training course in the railway field, offering new job opportunities in the sector, such as assistance on board trains or support staff at stations.
The Alstom Foundation will finance the recruitment of specialized teachers, job coaches, psychologists, and administrative support staff. Their role will be to create all the content and deliver the course, which will cover different topics such as the structure and organization of a railway station, assistance to dependent persons, passenger assistance in English, cafeteria and mobile bar services, as well as prevention and action in emergencies, among others. The course, which will start in January 2023, will include both theoretical aspects and practical modules in natural railway environments.
