Click to edit Master text styles ____ __ ____ _____ ____ ______ Second level _____ _____ Third level ____ _____ Fourth level _____ _____ Fifth level ____ _____ Employers often tell us that people have qualifications but are poorly prepared, lack certain skills and competencies and are not ‘work ready’. Being ‘work ready’ gives people a serious advantage in securing employment. With productivity increasingly being driven by skills, our team deliver development solutions such as pre-employment training, to ensure people have the ‘work ready’ skills to get a job. Once employed, Skills for Logistics ensures employees can access the advice, skills and training needed to progress in their career.

Attracting talent to the sector through the MWPS was hugely successful. Skills for Logistics was able to develop a world-class relationship with the Armed Forces during programme delivery. Importantly, 1,000 service leavers gained invaluable ‘on-the-job’ experience, with over 250 candidates gaining job offers resulting from their work placement. .
