Skills Development Centre; Addressing the skills shortage in supply chain and logistics
The supply chain and logistics sector has faced significant challenges, particularly the shortage of skilled operators for electric walk-behind forklifts, electric pallet jacks, counterbalance forklifts, high reach forklifts and order pickers, as well as inventory/picking technology tools such as scanning and voice picking.
To tackle this, Programmed has established its Centres of Excellence – advance training facilities in Western Sydney and Melbourne. These centres, a first in the recruitment industry, offer state-of-the-art onsite training and assessments in full scale, replica warehouses. Combining classroom essential knowledge and instruction with practical exercises, candidates receive hands-on experience tailored to real world demands.
