Only two per cent of HGV (C & CE) driving licences are issued to women in Ireland. However, this cohort is growing on the back of the continued success of the Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship.
Sorcha Halpin is the latest recruit to passing her driving test as part of the Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship.
Aidan Flynn, chief executive of FTA Ireland commented: “What a fabulous ambassador Sorcha Halpin is for the Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship . Sorcha his now part of an elite group that will continue to grow.
He continued: “20 per cent of the Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship class are women which is fantastic.”
Continued success to Sorcha. Also special mention to DPD Ireland for their support of apprenticeships. Without employers they will not work.
