Railway Talent Hub: Attract the technical talents of tomorrow

The Railway Talent Hub connects companies with emerging talents in technical study programmes. During the spring and autumn semesters, the Railway Talent Hub regularly organises events at universities and universities of applied sciences in Switzerland. The aim is to introduce students to the fascinating world of railways and mobility and to demonstrate the potential it offers as a future employer.

The events are published on the platform; students can register directly through it.

From spring 2026 onwards, companies will also be able to publish entry-level positions, internships and trainee programmes in the railway sector on the Railway Talent Hub.

Benefit as a Company

Events


  1. Throughout the year, the Railway Talent Hub is present at several Swiss universities and universities of applied sciences with the format “Meet the Engineers.”

    At each event, one company from the railway industry gives a short keynote presentation (approx. 30 minutes). Afterwards, engineers present their career paths and daily work in short pitches (approx. 2 minutes each), before an apéro provides space for personal exchange. The events often take place around lunchtime.

    We are looking for companies that would like to participate – with a keynote presentation, with engineers for short pitches, or with both. It is also possible for a company to fully design the content of an event.

  2. In addition, there are other event formats – such as the Railway Summer Camp, the Railway Insight Days, or our Women’s Events – where companies can support us, for example by providing a location, contributing expertise, offering a tour, or through sponsorship.

  3. Companies can also publish events for students via the Railway Talent Hub. If you have any questions or would like further details, feel free to contact us at: info@railway-talent-hub.ch

You can register at any time as a speaker (or in another role) for already planned events. You can find the current events on the events page.
