Cleanaway’s Driver Academy for Women has expanded to SATAS where nine recruits are already gearing up to get behind the wheel as fully licenced drivers.

Induction day for the class took place on Monday 11 October 2022. This was then followed by a series of safety trainings and site tours to introduce the recruits to Cleanaway facilities.

The recruits are currently in their third week of training and upon graduation will be based at our Port Adelaide branch.
The women are expected to receive their heavy rigid (HR) vehicle licences and be on the road before Christmas.
