Sponsored by Cummins, the launch of the 2025 Award was announced at the 2025 Apprentice Onboarding for Cummins on February 10, and both Cummins and TWAL were delighted that 39 per cent of females were part of a large intake of apprentices.
“The award is offered to young women under the age of thirty and highlights how TWAL continues to promote, motivate, and encourage young females who are already shining a light on our industry early in their careers,” TWAL says.
“Entrants must be individuals who can display that they are contributing to the industry over and above paid employment/business.
“This can be someone who has demonstrated leadership and/or who has been involved in a significant initiative that has brought about positive change, added value to the industry or is advocating for the industry.”
TWAL says it is their honour and delight to offer this award of recognition to an amazing young woman in transport.
“We have some incredible young women in our industry and among our TWAL members and this is a chance to recognise one of them,” TWAL says.
Award nominations are open and will close on April 17, nomination forms are available by contacting chair@transportwomen.com.au.
The winner will be announced June 2.
