Dublin Bus to hold further recruitment open days for women

Due to the success of the More Mná recruitment campaign earlier this year, Dublin Bus is running further recruitment open days for women.

Recent research reveals that one in four women across the country would consider becoming a Dublin Bus driver if given the opportunity.

As part of this initiative, Dublin Bus will host three open days in October and November to welcome interested candidates, taking place on October 26th, and November 9th and 23rd.

These open days are designed to give women first-hand experience of what it is like to work at Dublin Bus.

Attendees will meet with female drivers and inspectors, who will share their personal stories and insights about life on the road.

Participants will also have the rare chance to drive a training bus under the guidance of a qualified instructor, get a tour of the Dublin Bus Central Control Centre, and learn about the recruitment process as well as the numerous benefits of joining Dublin Bus.

Talent development and diversity manager at Dublin Bus, Vivienne Kavanagh, said: “Being a bus driver gives you a front row seat to a vibrant capital. We want to empower women to pursue any careers they desire.

"I encourage anyone interested to attend our open days, learn about our competitive packages and take that first step. At Dublin Bus we are family, and we are excited to welcome more women to our team."
