IMHX Skills Zone to Highlight Logistics Career Opportunities
10th May 2018
The exciting career opportunities available to graduates and school leavers within the logistics and supply chain sectors will be highlighted by a dedicated Skills Zone at next year’s International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX 2019 – NEC, Birmingham, 24-27 September 2019).
The Skills Zone will provide a unique opportunity for young people to participate in a range of interactive features that demonstrate the diverse career options that logistics offers. It is being delivered in partnership with The Big Bang Near Me – organiser of a programme of UK-wide events designed to encourage students to become interested in science, technology and engineering and Think Logistics – a sector-led initiative that aims to redefine the image of working in logistics.
Rob Fisher, IMHX 2019 Event Director, commented: “The Skills Zone at IMHX 2019 will bridge the gap between young people looking for a rewarding career and logistics companies seeking talented individuals capable of moving the profession forward. We know that there is a demographic time bomb in the logistics sector, so attracting talent into logistics is essential for the long-term prosperity of the sector.”
The Skills Zone, delivered by Big Bang Near Me and Think Logistics, is supported by a number of key stakeholders, including the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), NOVUS and the British Industrial Truck Association (BITA).
