In a groundbreaking partnership, NSDC International (NSDCI), Baton Transport, a European road transport company and Anywhere Jobs are spearheading efforts to tackle the acute shortage of skilled trailer drivers in Europe, by not only mobilizing Indian trailer drivers, but also by empowering Indian women in the trucking industry.
Europe is grappling with a significant shortage of over 150,000 skilled trailer drivers, a situation that surpasses the available workforce, necessitating innovative solutions to address this issue. Anywhere Jobs has successfully onboarded 30 highly qualified trailer drivers for Baton Transport through a comprehensive hiring drive in Delhi.
On the partnership, Mr. Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of NSDC and MD of NSDC International, offered his valuable insights on this initiative, highlighting the great opportunities for women to advance in their careers, “NSDCI’s commitment to empower women in the trucking sector is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of diversity, fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a brighter future.”
Baton Transport is partnering with AnywhereJobs to recruit Indian drivers for European relay driving, with a goal of 50% female representation in the fleet, with 10 women already contributing.
