In August, many HVIA Women’s Network members took to LinkedIn to share their career stories and experiences in industry to date. The messages were honest, positive, raw and powerful, and every story was unique. HVIA is proud of the women and men in our industry, their passion, and how hard they work.
These stories re-enforced the opportunity that exists to young and new entrants in heavy vehicles and that our industry is open to everyone.
For anyone who missed some of the posts, you can recap on them below. Thank you to all our members who participated in the initiative, and we are excited to continue to highlight the many wonderful careers and opportunities available in our industry.
