Prepare for a role within the Logistics Sector with CTP
General competencies such as: Decision Making, Leadership, Determination & Resilience, Organisational Skills, Focus and Discipline. Not to mention many Service leavers have gained high levels of Logistics experience during Service.

The Logistics Sector is a critical enabler for success across all business Sectors and employs 2.7 Million staff across the wider Logistics Industry in the UK (FTA Logistics report 2019). There is also an aging workforce and this is due to a lack of new talent entering the industry as young people have been attracted to other sectors and roles, in addition to this the evolution of technology means that the industry workforce requirements constantly evolves, which ultimately means that many technical and specialist opportunities continue to be available.

Whilst the UK faces change and uncertainty the Logistics Sector is in the spot light and will be expected to drive the evolution of any changes to regulations relating to import/export of goods.  Skills such as resilience, risk, change and operations management will prove to be significant requirements for management roles over the next few years. These are also skills that many Service leavers have in abundance, CTP also delivers a number of courses such as Management of Risk and Change Management which provides certification from APMG.

What's Available?
There are a number of Logistics courses offered by CTP which will provide essential qualifications and commercial knowledge to support the needs of Service leavers seeking employment within this Sector. These range from driving courses (Category C, C+E and Driver CPC with ADR which are all contract funded) to management level courses (Level 5 Professional Diploma from CILT, CPC Road Haulage (International) and Warehouse & Distribution Supervisor). Lean Six Sigma methods are widely used within the Logistics Sector and CTP delivers the Level 5 Certificate in Service Improvement (Lean Six Sigma), which would also compliment the management level qualifications.
