Major Italian railway operators Trenord and Trenitalia have initiated several recruitment and apprenticeship programs to bolster their workforce.

In mid-October, Trenord announced a drive for new train drivers in the Lombardy region, requiring an eight-month training period and a six-month internship. Simultaneously, Trenitalia launched an apprenticeship program for young graduates in ten regions, offering professional training and permanent employment opportunities for those in technical or scientific fields.

By late October, Trenitalia expanded its recruitment efforts to include conductor and customer advisor roles across 12 Italian regions. These positions are also structured as 36-month apprenticeship programs for high school graduates aged 18 to 29, providing training and an initial gross annual salary exceeding 32,000 euros.
