Meet Dayna Callender – Toi Ohomai's first road transport cadetship graduate

2 August 2019

The 19-year-old Mount Maunganui woman is the first student in the region to complete the Bay of Plenty Transport Industry cadetship at Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology.

Callender says although the trucking industry is male-dominated, she has felt supported by her colleagues and others.

"There has been a big shift in the industry and they're embracing young workers, and female workers."

Toi Ohomai group manager of automotive, transport and logistics, Dan Taylor, said Callender deserves all the praise that comes her way.

"She is a great example, having seized an opportunity and deciding to run with it," he said.

"The cadetship programme is a result of Toi Ohomai working with the Freight and Logistics Action Group and our valued industry partners. Now we can offer full- and part-time options for transport students."
