The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) is supporting International Women’s Day today (8 March 2017) and encouraging more women to consider careers within highways and transportation.

 

In recognition of International Women’s Day, CIHT Membership manager Terri Myers and the North East and Cumbria region were at the University of Teesside last week celebrating women in engineering and transport planning.

 

Women in Highways and Transportation – #Journeys stories

Through our journeys campaign, we have collected case studies of female CIHT members working in the highways and transportation sector, all at different stages in their careers. You can read about their inspirational stories here.

 

Improving Diversity & Inclusion – Employers’ toolkit

CIHT’s Diversity & Inclusion toolkit is the first of its kind for the highways and transportation sector. It provides a route map to success through diversity and inclusion. 

 

The toolkit offers practical guidance, case studies and links to reliable sources of expert advice for employers to help recruit, retain and develop a more diverse workforce. By doing so, employers will improve their own business performance and increase capacity within the industry.
