Meeting the challenge of developing fully qualified transit rail car maintenance technicians is the goal of TCRP Project E-07, Establishing a National Transit Industry Rail Vehicle Technician Qualification Program: Building for Success. The best answer, fine-tuned by the research team for this project, is a new multipart, industrywide system of qualification. This system of qualification integrates a number of related elements: national training standards; a progressive classroom curriculum and introductory courseware; on-the-job learning modules; and an apprenticeship framework that combines well-designed sequences of learning, mentoring to support learners, and coordination of classroom and on-the-job learning. All these components provide the foundation needed for written and hands-on assessments to confirm that technicians have the practical knowledge and skills required to perform their jobs at the highest level of expertise. |
