The freight industry is increasingly investing in employee training to ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of its businesses, say Natalie Barrass and Jackie Roberts of Bertlie Recruitment. “There are a vast amount of opportunities for candidates within the freight industry now, as we are finding more and more companies are offering learnership programmes to educate and upskill candidates in the freight sector,” Barrass and Roberts said. Some companies are attracting the most suitable candidates, not on the basis of qualifications or existing skills, but on aptitude to learn. “This is a huge incentive for candidates to join their future employers,” the Bertlie duo noted.
