Jobs Jolt initiative welcomed
The Jobs Jolt programme is a positive move with the potential to help the road transport industry deal with the growing shortage of drivers says Road Transport Forum Chief Executive Officer, Tony Friedlander.
“One of Jobs Jolts aims is to assist
employers facing skill shortages according to the Minister
of Social Development and Employment, Steve Mahary. Road
transport operators are increasingly facing just this
problem. The industry is putting in place its own measures
to address the numbers issue, but this new programme may
well open up new sources for new recruits and is more than
welcome. The Government is to be commended for this putting
this initiative in place,” Mr Friedlander
says.
