The British International Freight Association (BIFA) is encouraging UK freight forwarders to take advantage of the newly authorised freight forwarding apprentice scheme.
BIFA training development manager Carl Hobbis explained that the recent official approval from the Institute of Apprenticeships for the BIFA-supported freight forwarding apprentice scheme should give the UK’s freight forwarding industry the ability to attract far more young people into the sector than previously.
“The young people in the industry that we have spoken to typically say that they ‘fell’ into the job – although they are virtually unanimous in adding that they love what they do.”
