Hi Lisa. We typically hire CSAs (Customer Service Ambassadors) externally, that have an aptitude for moving to the next level of a Conductor. We do a personality and aptitude test to assess this prior to hiring a candidate as a CSA. Eventually they move from CSA to conductor to Locomotive Engineer.

Thank you for your reply! I see online that Alstom has education facilities across the world. Do they have a location in Canada and can you tell me more about the types of courses/programs offered?

Alstom University is mostly composed of online courses through LinkedIn Learning and Coursera. There are some locations that have a physical hub. In terms of courses offered, as it's online, there are thousands of options. It's a great place to develop soft and/or hard skills.
