New CTHRC Web Site Spotlights
Trucking Careers
(April 25, 2008) -- Job seekers checking out career
opportunities in the trucking industry now have another resource to check out.
The Canadian Trucking Human Resources Council (CTHRC) has just unveiled a new
web site located at
www.truckingcareers.ca which
promotes a broad spectrum of careers in the industry.
The site contains industry information including
salary data, career paths and occupational profiles for those jobs that are
unique to the trucking industry.
Designed to teach Canadians from all walks of life
about the exciting and dynamic careers available in the trucking industry,
visitors will quickly learn that there are many more positions in the industry
than those that are behind the wheel. It offers high-paying, challenging jobs
that differ greatly from one to the next.
There are ample opportunities to become a driver, but
visitors to the site will also be excited to learn about the career potential in
vehicle maintenance, fleet operations and cargo management. Information about
supporting the overall industry through one of the Allied Trades is also a focus
of the new website.
“The truth is that the trucking sector is filled
with companies that are always on the lookout for fresh talent. While there is a
high demand for drivers throughout the country, there are also so many other
people acting behind the scenes to make this industry work. But the issue is
that when people think of trucking, they think of drivers first. And
that’s logical, because they are the face of our industry. However,
truckingcareers.ca aims to change that perception by putting all the different
careers on equal footing,” said CTHRC Executive Director Linda
Gauthier.
The site was developed through consultation with
training schools, trucking companies, suppliers and industry associations,
including the Canadian Trucking Alliance.
