Thank you All

We are grateful for the time we had yesterday on the TRA 2020 Webinar: Strategic Session 12 “Impacts of automation and digitalisation on workforce of the transport industries”

 This session discussed about the future workforce changes (including job location, needs for new skills, education and training) induced by the increasing automation and/or digitalisation of the transport system that has been accelerated with the current COVID-19 pandemic.
