The webinar will give an insight into their day jobs, career journeys,Ā discuss leadership and gender equality in the Welsh transport sector and provide and chance for the audience to ask questions.
Emma Tamplin, Chwarae Teg, said: “I’m delighted we have such an accomplished line up ready to share their experiences with young women. Our panel work in a variety of roles in transport, so there is something for everyone to be interested in. I’m sure that what they to say will inspire future generations to see a career in transport leadership as a fulfilling option for themselves.”
