\n<\/strong>The logistics sector is rapidly developing into a knowledge-intensive industry. Therefore, during \"Experience the logistics chain\", the organising parties want to give participants an attractive view into logistics and leave the prejudices behind. Many people still think of a job in logistics in terms of waybills and lifting heavy boxes. During the programme, it will become clear that the industry today is dominated by speed, technical gadgets, innovation and sustainability plays an important role. Within the logistics sector, the demand for personnel has also risen sharply in recent years. Employers are finding it increasingly difficult to fill vacancies. The demand for good professionals simply exceeds the supply. Thanks to \"Experience the logistics chain\", this versatile sector can be introduced in an accessible way. This will plant the seeds for the future among this young target group.<\/p>\n

The event led to more internships in logistics and jobseekers following a training programme to get ready for a job or starting work straight away. Thanks to 'Beleef de Logistieke Keten', pupils and students from intermediate and higher vocational schools as well as jobseekers from the WerkgeversServicePunt Noord-Limburg were introduced to the multifaceted sector in an accessible way.<\/p>\n
