Bus Éireann is actively recruiting for drivers across the island of Ireland – and, as part of that, is targeting an increase of at least 10% in the number of female drivers and supervisors it employs by 2030.
Bus Éireann has also established a training programme for B licence holders to convert to D licences giving applicants every opportunity to succeed on the road ahead. This new initiative makes it easier for regular licence holders to become a bus driver (D licence holder) with training provided as part of their employment with Bus Éireann.
The operator will also be holding a number of driver open days next Sunday, around the country (for dates and times see below).
Radio and TV broadcaster and author Anna Geary – who is supporting the campaign – said: “I am delighted to support Bus Éireann with their driver recruitment campaign. It is fantastic to see them holding so many female driver open days around the country on March 24th. I have met some inspiring drivers taking part in this campaign and I would encourage anyone who thinks a career in bus driving with Bus Éireann might be for them to get down to their local open days. The team at Bus Éireann will be there to answer all your questions and who knows – It could be Your Best Move!”
