African enterprises eager to enhance their skills in the warehousing sector have an opportunity to do so with the launch of a groundbreaking freight handling qualification by Metro Minds.

According to MD Juliette Fourie, this qualification goes beyond theoretical learning, offering students hands-on experience in a real warehouse environment.

This practical approach allows students to develop essential skills in receiving, managing, and dispatching freight, ensuring they are well-prepared to meet the demands of the industry.

"The programme further stands out thanks to the use of a freight and distribution simulator," she said.

"This simulation not only facilitates the training of newcomers in the freight and distribution space but also equips them with the practical knowledge needed to be job-ready.

"Graduates can hit the ground running upon completion of the course, making them valuable assets in the industry."

This initiative by the supply chain and logistics academy not only addresses the need for skilled workers in the warehousing sector but also provides a solution to the ongoing challenge of offering practical, real-world training.
