The vital role that apprentices play in the workplace will take centre stage at the forthcoming Freight Transport Association Logistics Skills Summit on 17 March, 2016.

With vehicle engineers being the most difficult to find in the UK, the Association will focus on the progress of its own apprentices who embarked on a three year scheme with FTA and Gist last year.

The Logistics Skills Summit – sponsored by DAF Trucks - is a free-to-attend event and takes place during National Apprenticeship Week.  It will take an in-depth look at the skills shortage within the transport and logistics industry and the steps needed to be taken to attract, recruit and retain staff.

National Apprenticeship Week 2016, coordinated by the National Apprenticeship Service, runs from 14-18 March and is designed to celebrate apprenticeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy.
