The National Apprenticeship Week is now coming to an end, and that means that the British International Freight Association group are choosing to repeat their calls for freight forwarding. They are also trying to consider recruiting apprentices as well. The executive director of the BIFA company has stated that this is a tough call, especially when you look at the pandemic but at the end of the day, it's vital to ensure that those who work in transport recruitment are given support, and sometimes this means looking at the bigger picture. This is going to help apprentices who are not able to qualify for most HGV jobs or driver jobs, not to mention that there has been a decline in the industry as a whole.

If this can be nipped in the bud, then it would seem that this would help others to make better commercial decisions and it would also help apprentices to get themselves on the career ladder. It's vital to ensure that freight forwarding apprentices are doing everything they can to try and build capacity while also ensuring that a new generation are able to gain the knowledge and skills they need to face the challenges that lie ahead. Of course, there is no telling what lies ahead with things like Brexit but at the end of the day, we need to try and deal with the challenges that we have now, and a lot of people believe that this could in fact be the way forward.

This is all very exciting to say the least and it just goes to show that with small changes come huge impacts. Some hope that this is going to be the case for this industry too, but until Covid is over, we can't know for sure.
