With nearly half the public transportation workforce of 400,000 expected to retire in the next 10 years, managers and human resource professionals in the $55 billion transit industry said they expect a federally funded website publicizing job and training opportunities to generate interest.
Partners in the design and execution of the Transit Virtual Career Network include two Rutgers University organizations:
• New Brunswick-based John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, a research and policy group dedicated to strengthening the American workforce
• Piscataway-based Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation, a developer of research, education, and technology solutions for critical transportation issues.
Visitors can explore more than 50 different frontline transit-related occupations, learn what it takes to prepare for these jobs, identify local educational and training programs and tap into current job listings.
