    This seems like a weird headline. Maybe “Student gets a part time job while at University” would be a better headline.

      Perhaps they reduced barrier of entry for these jobs, allowing for working less hours, flexible schedules, less training time, etc.

      Edit: seems i was right aftwr actually reading the article. They mention part-time, working arouns their classes, ans this:

      They are also expected to take on extra homework to make up for the accelerated pace of the course, which is half the length of regular training.

      Yeah, at my university it was pretty common for students to take on bus driver jobs. A tram is, admittedly, a bit different from that, but a job is a job.
