How have you seen the Auto-motive industry landscape change and evolve to engage more women? The best car companies are taking progressive steps towards sustainability and diversity & inclusion, making careers in the automotive industry more accessible to women. Organisations are aiming to fill at least 30% of key positions with women by 2030. Being of a certain age, I personally have seen a huge difference in numbers of women currently employed in the automotive sector compared to the 70s, 80s and 90s.
