The deliberate steps we\u2019ve taken, like introducing a skills-first hiring approach, reinforcing the importance of diverse hiring panels, and creating apprenticeship opportunities, are components that continue delivering results. We know that the path to a more equitable business is a journey, but years later, these results are showing us that we are moving in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s Close the Gap report reveals the hiring progress that&nbsp;Delta Air Lines has made among females, Black, and other underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. It also shows that there is a lot of work still to be done to reach the goals that have been set, and Delta will continue to be transparent about the progress being made.
