In this context, we dedicate work and effort to incorporate new professionals to a unique project, which is leading a more sustainable and intelligent mobility model, as the first investor in the country; not only to contribute to the recovery of the country but also to promote a more competitive economy, around the green and digital principles, which drive the European funds NextGenerationEU", explains Mª Luisa Domínguez, president of Adif and Adif AV.
"Advancing in the democratization of passenger transport -with a liberalization process underway- and undertaking the transformation of our infrastructures and services -backed by the digital revolution- are equal challenges that we will successfully tackle with the incorporation of diverse talent," notes Domínguez.
"We are tackling a challenge that goes beyond numbers; a large-scale generational and cultural change with which we will make possible the transfer of critical knowledge -that accumulated by professionals during their long career in the railway world-, taking advantage of the capabilities and skills of new professional profiles -younger and digital-, incorporating more diverse talent and transforming the way we approach our work to successfully respond to the mobility of the future," comments Michaux Miranda, general manager of People management at Adif.
