Telford College is hosting an information event in Wolverhampton on Wednesday 10th September, designed to encourage more women into the logistics industry.
The event, which will include presentations from employers and past students, is being held at GTG in Bearing Drive, Willenhall, with two sessions starting at 10am and 1pm.
“The purpose of the event is to highlight the rewarding career paths available for women in the sector,” explained Aneeta Hazir, employer partnerships manager at the college.
“If there is sufficient interest, we will be looking to run a women-only version of our popular logistics course, which provides the insight and skills needed for a successful career in the haulage industry.”
Students who have already completed Telford College’s logistics course will also be speaking about their experiences, and how it has helped to provide a springboard for new career opportunities.

Aneeta said: “Logistics offers dynamic career paths – everything from management to tech-driven roles – providing significant opportunities for growth and success.
“It is the backbone of global commerce, yet it remains male-dominated. Encouraging more women to join the industry challenges outdated stereotypes and is a win-win for everyone.
“Companies benefit from improved morale, stronger workplace culture, and a broader perspective on business challenges.
“By breaking down barriers, inspiring young women, and promoting gender diversity, we want to play our part in making the logistics industry more adaptive, competitive, and sustainable.”
