Developing women truck drivers
About Women Inspiring Women to Lead in Transport
We’re proud to be a part of WIWIT – Women Inspiring Women to Lead in Transport. This programme is dedicated to empowering women truck drivers, providing them with the skills and opportunities they need to excel within the transport industry. Historically, women truck drivers have faced an uphill battle in this male-dominated field. Despite often being safer drivers than their male counterparts, they continue to encounter significant obstacles. At Hollard, we are committed to changing this narrative.
Hollard’s trucking division is actively contributing to WIWIT’s success. We’ve sponsored two state-of-the-art training truck trailers, equipped two training centres with 10 laptops each and granted access to Hollard’s comprehensive e-learning platform. This initiative is just the beginning. As WIWIT continues to grow, we’re committed to supporting the development of women truck drivers and future women leaders within the transport industry.
Greater female participation at all levels of the transport industry leads to safer roads and more inclusive businesses.
