The company is recruiting for Metro, Glider and Ulsterbus drivers.
Translink chief executive Chris Conway said: "Over 100 women will have the opportunity to attend this unique behind the wheel experience."
Bus driver Elaine Flaherty urged people to take up the challenge: "You realise you're a real lifeline for many people across Northern Ireland providing an important service which is very rewarding."
