A Freight Development Pathway programme has been started by the British International Freight Association (BIFA) to find, recruit, and train qualified people from outside the freight forwarding and logistics industry.
One of the top workforce solutions providers in the world, Manpower, collaborates with trade association BIFA.
The programme is a part of a larger effort to solve the well-documented recruitment challenges facing freight forwarding, according to Carl Hobbis, an executive director of BIFA who also oversees the trade association's training initiatives.
Career possibilities with BIFA member freight forwarding and logistics firms will be made available to candidates.
Participants in the Freight Development Pathway will get a three-week employability programme from BIFA's team of qualified trainers, as well as an introductory freight and customs training course.
The programme will be run by Manpower and will involve employability training to make each participant ready for interviews and potential jobs, weekly one-on-one meetings, and group sessions.
