The freight industry, despite being complex and volatile at times, offers a host of opportunities from entry level to directorships to those who choose it as a career. According to Brett Moore, director and partner at the School of Shipping, the skills required within the sector are often outside of the scope of the average traditional training provider. “This leaves the employee with the brunt of “on-the-job training”, which is not Setaaccredited, and hence not recognised within the industry or in fact the country or outside of our borders,” he said. With scarce and critical skills remaining an issue, there are many opportunities for those wanting to enter the world of freight. Spreading the word about training remains high on the agenda, according to Moore. “School of Shipping has full national accreditation with the transport Seta, Teta. We specialise in training in all facets of international trade, from import/export procedures to customs clearing and freight forwarding along with several specialised courses.”
