Putting Your Military Training to Work

The railroad industry recognizes that, thanks to their military background, veterans make excellent potential employees. In fact, many of the skills acquired while serving closely match the needs of today’s railroads. Military personnel have experience working in fast-paced, team environments and demanding conditions, and they understand what it takes to work at all hours and in differing shifts. They also typically know how to work around machinery and industrial vehicles in a safety-conscious manner, making a career with the railroads a perfect fit.

NARS can provide all the training you need to transition into a civilian position in the rail industry. Our programs are accredited and, for veterans, your benefits are applicable.

Is there any funding that will help pay for the railroad certificate programs?

“NARS is a great program for anyone seeking to enter the railroad industry. It prepares you and gives you a competitive edge for those who chose to apply with no previous experience.”
