  Advice for job-hunting students!

  There is almost no learning about railway’s technology at school. And I think it is an unknown world and you can be anxious about it. However, please be assured that there will be many training and lectures after joining us. I think that when you come into contact with the technology of the railway, you will be able to notice the depth and fun of it, so please give it a try.
