Canberra Careers Expo

Transport Women Australia (TWAL) has just enjoyed a huge couple of days at the Canberra CareersXpo. 9500 high school students (Years 10-12) from the ACT & rural NSW attended across the two days.

TWAL coordinated two stalls, an internal information booth, and in the carpark, a stall & simulators, demonstrating truck & excavator driving, both showing the varied careers available in a transport company.

The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) launched its InRoad Workforce website & factsheets ‘Your future path’ and ‘Earn more before 25’,

Everyone involved was passionate & engaged in explaining Transport Career Pathways.
