"Bringing more female commercial drivers into the transport industry makes business, economic and social sense. The industry is willing and eager to transform. To do this successfully however, requires a concerted drive: with proper planning and a sustained approach". This is one of the key messages that emerged from the inaugural online dialogue titled "Women in Transport: Unlocking Opportunities for Female Truck Drivers and Couriers", that took place in March 2021. Hosted by South Africa's Commercial Transport Academy, CTA, the event was supported by a number of industry organisations and attended by representatives from operators, government departments, state owned enterprises and industry service providers. More from Nicci Scott, founder of the CTA.
