On March 14, 2024, the Isuzu East Africa Drivers Academy, in collaboration with Bamburi Cement Plc, held its fourth graduation ceremony. A total of 26 drivers, including four women, were honoured for completing their training, which took place in August and November of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 2019, this program aims to equip drivers working for Isuzu East Africa\u2019s customers with essential skills, transforming them into proficient drivers capable of efficiently handling logistics operations. The curriculum covers a wide range of areas, including equipment handling, economical driving techniques, understanding commercial vehicle financing and insurance, and utilising tools such as Google Maps for navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the audience at the event, Isuzu East Africa Human Resources and Corporate Sustainability Director Fred Wasike, emphasised the program\u2019s crucial role in enhancing road safety. He underscored the importance of driver discipline and exemplary behaviour in achieving this goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bamburi Cement Plc Sustainability and Geocycle Director, Jane Wangari, described the significance of their partnership with Isuzu EA. She highlighted the Women on Wheels (WoW) initiative, launched in 2021, which aims to diversify the traditionally male-dominated driver workforce. Wangari stressed the importance of enrolling more women into the program, with a target of training 50 women this year. She emphasised that this effort is not only about gender balance but also about meeting road safety and sustainability objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program\u2019s core focus remains on instilling drivers with the necessary values and skills, contributing significantly to national efforts to bolster road safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
