Existing Workers Program

Is your workforce equipped to help you take your business forward? The need for high level technical skills is a direct result of new technologies, increased complexity and the impact of globalisation.

Firms in the Transport and Logistics industry are reconfiguring their vision to focus on servicing the whole supply chain.  The ability to conceptualise the integrated process of what constitutes a supply chain and to work effectively with that, demand higher level skills in the current workforce. The need for high level technical skills is a direct result of new technologies,increased complexity and the impact of globalisation. Compounding this is a workforce that is under-qualified and has significant skill gaps at the higher end.

Fundamental to business survival and growth will be the capacity of management to develop and implement strategies for customer-focused and whole of supply chain solutions. There is an increasing need to develop more sophisticated management skills and new ways of thinking, particularly with respect to project management, logistics and supply chain management. In addition, people at this level are increasingly expected to provide technical support and leadership in their enterprise.

This program would be valuable for two existing groups already working in the T&L industry with a view to improving supervisory and management competence and opening up career paths:

• Supervisors and middle managers, who have worked their way up through the organisation, but without formal qualifications, and
• people working in operational support roles, who have entered the industry laterally and are looking for career advancement.

This unique approach to upskilling encompasses positive and practical learning methods.
