How to use this guide
Every student can see a path into transit
Transit employs communicators, planners, engineers, mechanics, operators, technologists, 昀椀nance and
HR professionals. This guide uses the real stories of 昀椀ve transit professionals featured by LIT for
National Transit Career Day to show students how a degree or training path leads to a transit role.
How to use it
Print the page for your grade band. Each page stands on its own, and answer keys are on page 3.
Many transit careers start with a certi昀椀cate or apprenticeship, not only a degree. Mention both.
Send the family page and certi昀椀cate home so learning continues there.
