What to make it big in the shipping & logistics industry? If yes, we at Everything Warehouse avail you this opportunity to identify potential candidates for higher level positions.
Warehouse logistics is a hot topic these days, as the nation’s unemployment rate drops and there are fewer people to even work in the hands-on shipping and receiving parts of the supply chain. In upper level warehouse management, the field is even narrower. Industry insiders in supply chain management are advising companies to work with academic institutions to identify potential candidates for higher level positions. Only two percent of available candidates have the job skills or training necessary for these positions, so companies either need to invest in training or work with the schools to modify the curriculum so graduates are prepared. Many area colleges have added certification programs in supply chain management or parts of it, which is a viable option for someone with an associate or bachelor’s degree in a related field. The industry is thriving now for those thinking about careers in logistics.
