2005 – Aug – Gould – Broadening the Perspective

Karen Gould MIRSE, EngTech, CMCIPD Institution of Railway Signal Engineers The aim of this paper is to set out the main IRSE activities in the Training and Development arena over the last few years in the context of the events of the UK Rail Industry. It summarises the projects that have been taken on and successfully completed and how they may be of use to the wider international membership. It also looks at the challenges ahead as the IRSE continues to grow in its international standing and explores how we might broaden our perspective in order to meet the growing needs of our increasingly international presence.
