VTA Chief Operating Officer Derik Calhoun and Operations Manager Steve Jovel shared valuable insights on one of the industry’s most critical topics—“Retention Fast Track – Mentoring Success: An Employee Retention Solution”—at the 2024 American Public Transportation Association Workforce Summit in Washington, D.C. This session underscored the transformative impact of mentorship programs in the transportation industry. They discussed how VTA’s workforce development strategies align with the Joint Workforce Investment (JWI) program and introduced the Women Innovating Transit (WIT) program, founded by Shannon Arms, who was also in attendance and remains a cornerstone of the efforts. Deputy Director Lisa Rae Vickery, also present, emphasized the importance of these and other initiatives, such as the Mission College and ATU Local 265 Apprenticeship, in fostering innovation and empowering our staff for long-term retention. #APTAworkforce24 #Transit #Innovation #Workforce #WomenInTransit #VTA #ATU
