This resource brings together national initiatives on skills and diversity with relevance to the transport sector. This is the only such resource for the transport sector. It can help organisations looking to diversify their workforce, help to raise the profile of careers in transport to the next generation and support inclusion and wellbeing in the current transport workforce.

These initiatives are broken down into six sections: the first looks at resources and initiatives that can be directly useful in recruitment and encouraging diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The second provides a list of initiatives that employers can engage in to help promote transport careers and uptake of STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), which could help in addressing future skills shortages. The third section presents a list of initiatives that it is useful to be aware of but may not have direct impacts on activities. The fourth provides a list of professional bodies that employees in the transport sector may wish to become members of and which support the diversity and inclusion agenda. The fifth shows training providers for the transport sector. Finally, the sixth lists a number of national and international days that organisations may want to support or get involved in, from International Women’s Day to National Stress Awareness Day.
