Introducing Young Workers: A Breath of Fresh Air
​
Traditionally, traffic control has been dominated by experienced workers with years of expertise under their belts. While their knowledge is invaluable, it's time to embrace a new generation of workers who bring a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to the table.
By actively hiring and training young workers, we are injecting new energy into the industry. These enthusiastic individuals are eager to learn and are quick to adapt to new technologies and techniques. They bring a unique set of skills that can help us tackle the ever-evolving challenges of traffic control safety.
