YTF on tour to recruit tomorrow's professional drivers

Yrkestrafikkforbundet ( YTF ) have been proud partners in SOTIN's nationwide tour "Follow the dream, not the current", a campaign that draws attention to educational opportunities and the exciting profession of professional driver. Together with the Norwegian Truck Drivers' Association and NHO Transport, the tour has aimed to recruit young people and job seekers to the transport industry, and inspire them to follow their dream of a career behind the wheel.

The tour, which took place from September to the end of October, has traveled from north to south with one bus and two trucks, visiting 31 schools across the country. At each stop, the focus has been on informing young people about the many opportunities available in the transport industry and how they can start their educational journey towards becoming a professional driver. YTF has been represented at 22 of the stops and has actively contributed to inspiring young people to consider a career in the transport sector.

Over 7-8,000 young people had the opportunity to meet representatives from the industry, high schools, training offices, and apprenticeship companies during the tour. For YTF This is an important part of the work to secure the industry's future by recruiting more professional drivers, and the tour has been a valuable tool for reaching out to young people who are considering the profession.
