This is exactly where the "Ladies Day on the trolleybus" comes in: With an information day especially for women, Salzburg Linien wants to show how versatile, reliable and exciting the job of a trolleybus driver is.
A profession for those interested in technology with people contact
Every day, female trolleybus drivers are responsible for their passengers and the safe progress of urban transport. They work with modern technology, are at the centre of city life and have a job with clear working hours and a regular duty rota. For many women looking for a new start or a career change, this job could be just the thing.
The Ladies Day provides first-hand information, discussions with experienced drivers and trainers and the opportunity to take a seat at the wheel of a trolleybus yourself - accompanied by an escort, of course. This quickly turns interest into a realistic impression.
More than just a taster day
Salzburg Linien offers sound training, fair pay and a working environment in which cooperation is a top priority. Frank Conrads, Chairman of the Works Council, emphasises:
"Anyone who joins us here is paid fairly, regardless of gender. Equal pay for equal work is a matter of course for us."
Career opportunities with a future
As the parent company, Salzburg AG sees Ladies Day as an important instrument for attracting more women to systemically relevant professions. CEO Michael Baminger says:
"We want to encourage women to take on new roles.
The job of a trolleybus driver is demanding, but feasible - and offers long-term prospects."
Gerlinde Hagler, Managing Director of Salzburg Linien, also sees a lot of potential: "Ladies Day is an invitation.
We show how much this profession has to offer - and how women can actively help shape it."
#schongenial when new job profiles are made tangible for women in this way.
