Grow and develop
Through training
At I. J. McGill Transport, we strongly believe that every employee should have the opportunity to progress and develop through training. We recognise that enhancing key skills and expanding knowledge is one of the most essential incentives for employees. It has a direct impact on the productivity and growth of our company, enhancing the service we provide to our customers.
Existing employees receive training to update and expand their knowledge.
When our technology is updated or altered, our employees are trained on how to use the new equipment and methods of work to ensure a seamless transition.
When there are opportunities for promotion and career advancement, progress training is provided.
Our drivers benefit from periodic in-house training from a JAUPT-approved training company and our own training academy. It aims to enhance and expand existing knowledge and abilities of our drivers to ensure their continued safety. It includes courses on the working time directive, daily vehicle inspections, tachograph regulations, fuel-efficiency and environmental impact and safe driving.
