With the North American rail industry expected to grow significantly in the coming years, access to seasoned resources to address green mobility issues is critical for this sector.
By combining their strengths and expertise, the partners intend to explore ways to develop specialized training courses in the field of railway and public transit engineering that directly address both mobility and decarbonization issues. The agreement also provides for the hiring of interns and recent graduates from Polytechnique Montreal and paves the way for knowledge sharing through rail industry conferences and direct support for student projects.
'We are thrilled with this agreement with
'AtkinsRealis is very proud to be part of this tripartite collaboration agreement. The training project will provide students with valuable hands-on experience from railway sector experts and pave the way for a more qualified and skilled workforce in the transportation sector. This is even more critical given the challenges we face today. Multi-sectoral collaboration will be required to achieve our societal goals, and that includes industry involvement in shaping students.' -

According to the Ordre des ingenieurs du Quebec, 52,000 new engineering professionals will be needed by 2033. That's a 40% increase over the next 10 years[1]. The electrical engineering sector is expected to be affected by a labour shortage, due in part to the energy transition's acceleration, including the electrification of transportation. Chemical engineers could also be in high demand with the expansion of the hydrogen industry, particularly for heavy vehicle transportation, and increased production of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. Demand is also expected to increase in institutional building design and monitoring (structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering) and civil works (civil, electrical engineering) in light of public policy trends.
