BIFA supports National Apprenticeship Week BIFA teamed up with members of the BIFA Young Forwarder Network (YFN) to speak with students at schools and colleges across the country
National Apprenticeship Week (NAW2022) once again provided an opportunity for employers to promote careers in logistics for young people. Throughout the week, BIFA Executive Director Carl Hobbis teamed up with colleagues and members of the BIFA Young Forwarder Network (YFN) to speak with students at schools and colleges across the country. Our events at South Essex College, the Felixstowe School and one in support of employability charity Spark! – which included 60 students from four local schools near London Heathrow – were supported by BIFA YFN members from Woodland Group, Burhill Logistics and CH Robinson. Highlights As well as sharing our reasons to consider logistics, BIFA Members outlined their perspectives of working in the industry and what employers look for when recruiting – all valuable advice for the workforce of the future. A highlight for us was the Felixstowe School event, where there were over 400 students in attendance across Years 10 and 11! As part of our ongoing partnership with the Logic Studio School in Feltham (West London), we held our first ever Logistics Jobs fair for their Year 13 pupils who are contemplating the next steps in their careers. Once again this was an event that was greatly supported by several BIFA
