3PL Launch "Top Gun" Academy!

 
In realising one of its long term aims 3PL are delighted to announce the launch of its logistics academy. From inventory control, to business development the apprenticeship programme caters for people of various ages & backgrounds.

Ian Walker – Managing Director adds:

As an individual involved in supply chain from a very early age, I felt compelled to create such an opportunity for a similar minded age group. We now have a group of people who are learning quickly  using both real life role experience combined with the relevant NVQ. The initial aim is to guide the recent intake through a challenging yet enjoyable 12 month apprenticeship with the incentive of a full time position at the end of the term. The very thought of having a raw pot of talent to nurture is both exciting and challenging  and will hopefully prove to be a reliable pipeline of talent for many years to come.

Who knows – the next superstar could already be in our ranks !

Jake Gerrard Business Development Apprentice adds:

The academy program at 3PL is a fantastic opportunity for me to gain qualifications and a great deal of experience whilst working alongside real life employees, This secondment is one I have been unable to find elsewhere and is proving to be a success in my own development, and hopefully my Career.
