TTS Launches New Logistics Apprenticeships & Leadership Programmes

In a further commitment to the wider transport industry in Northern Ireland, Transport Training Services has launched a range of new logistics apprenticeships and leadership programmes.

The logistics apprenticeships will support logistics industry employers with their workforce needs across the entire spectrum of logistics, including Warehousing & Storage; Logistics Operations; and Supply Chain Management programmes.

TTS can support employers with all aspects of the apprenticeship starting with recruitment and candidate assessment.

Robert Deignan, Careers Development Officer at TTS said: “The introduction of these new logistics apprenticeships is a natural extension of the programmes already offered by TTS for the transport and logistics sector.  We are seeking logistics industry employers to partner with us to be able to offer these new programmes to young people across Northern Ireland, so please get in touch with myself if you would like to know more.”

In addition, the social enterprise has introduced qualifications aimed at helping existing automotive, transport and logistics professionals to up-skill in the areas of Team Leading, Management and Customer Service.

The level 2 Team Leading qualification is designed for supervisors or first-line managers and provides practical knowledge and skills to strengthen leadership, whilst the level 3 management programme is designed for those currently managing staff and/or managing processes who require upskilling in areas of their job to be fully competent.

Candidates for the new customer service apprenticeship also need to be employed in an existing customer service role to be considered.

Michael Strain, CEO at TTS, added: “We are always looking for ways to add value to our customers across the spectrum of automotive, transport and logistics and these plans are part of an exciting new chapter for TTS.”
