The Women In Trucking Association has launched a pilot mentoring program for entry-level women drivers through a partnership with LeadHerAlliance Mentoring. WIT's new 10-month program, called LeadHerTrucking, will use LeadHerAlliance's mentoring structure to match women drivers new to the industry with experienced women leaders who have achieved long-term successful careers as professional drivers. The program will include monthly virtual meetings and a curated list of topics presented each month by women who are industry experts. "Part of the mission of WIT is to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry and minimize obstacles they face," said Debbie Sparks, vice president of WIT. "We believe the connections and mentoring created through this support system will make a significant difference in the lives of entry-level drivers. Our goal is to decrease the percentage of drivers who leave our industry within their first 12 months."
