Published purpose

This 36-month project seeks to remove institutional barriers causing women's under-representation in Quebec's transport industry. The project will ensure a better understanding of the systemic barriers faced by women in accessing training and working as drivers, and then work towards changing current recruitment, integration and training practices of businesses and training centres. In collaboration with key partners from the private sector and two training centres, an action plan will be developed and concrete actions will be taken in six regions. Private businesses, training centres, the provincial trucking association and Via Prévention will offer resources to develop and implement new tools, provide support for the sector and share the new practices. An advisory committee of sector leaders will ensure the project’s governance and results sharing through province-wide transport industry events, promotional tools and partners' and stakeholders' websites.
