Armed Forces to Alstom Programme

In order to better support Service leavers and veterans, our brand new ‘Armed Forces to Alstom’ ex-military recruitment programme helps you on your journey into fulfilling careers at Alstom. We recognise the unique skills and experiences you gained in the Armed Forces and invite you to embark on a journey into the dynamic rail industry.

How It Works:

1. Sign Up for the Armed Forces to Alstom Programme

Kickstart your journey by registering for the Armed Forces to Alstom programme.

2. Virtual Alstom Insight Day

You’ll be invited to join us for our Virtual Alstom Insight Day to learn more about the leading supplier of new trains, train services and signalling and rail infrastructure provider. You'll gain exclusive insights into our projects, work culture, and career prospects and discover how your military skills align with diverse career opportunities at Alstom.

3. Discovery Day

Following this, you’ll be invited to join us for an immersive experience at our Discovery Day. During the day expect a 30-minute 'mock-interview' tailored to provide personalised feedback to help you shine. Additionally, you'll receive valuable guidance on navigating our recruitment process, interview tips, and expert advice on enhancing your LinkedIn presence. Engage in group activities among fellow candidates, and embark on a tour of one of Alstom's sites to gain firsthand insights into our innovative projects.

4. Work Experience If you'd like to find out more, we can offer you a work experience - from just a day right up to 4 weeks in your area of choice.

If following the discovery day that you believe Alstom is the right fit for you, it's time to update your CV using our recommendations and apply for a role on our website. And we will connect you with a veteran employee 'buddy' who will be there to assist you through this application process.

5. Role-Specific Interviews

Successful candidates will have the chance to put what they've learned during their mock interviews into practice in role-specific interviews.

6. Welcome to the Alstom Armed Forces Family

Upon successfully navigating the recruitment process and securing a role at Alstom, you'll become part of our Alstom Armed Forces family.
