STEP ABOARD
The CRISI Rail Education and Outreach Program for High School is designed to educate and inspire students about the vital role rail plays in Florida’s transportation network and economy. The goals of the proposed rail education and inspiration program are to educate and spark early interest in rail, promote heightened awareness of the rail industry among high school students and young adults, and encourage them to consider future careers in the rail field. The program provides exciting, informative, and age-appropriate experiences that make learning about rail both engaging and meaningful. For high school students, the program builds on their growing interests by introducing real-world rail operations, technology, safety, and career pathways. Through interactive presentations at your school, students will gain insight into the diverse opportunities within the rail industry and better understand how rail connects communities, supports economic growth, and offers rewarding professional futures.
