As Sector Skills Council for the freight logistics industries, Skills for Logistics has been tasked by Government to establish what the skills needs of the industry are through the development of a Sector Skills Agreement with the industry. This agreement, known as the Logistics Skills Agreement (LSA), identifies what employers feel are the most significant skills issues within the industry. The agreement is an action plan between Skills for Logistics, industry employers and Government. It aims to deliver the right skills at the right time for the right people.
For further details regarding the development process of the Logistics Skills Agreement, please visit the SSDA website (Note: external link).
If you agree with the vision set out in the Logistics Skills Agreement, please fill in your details using the online form as in order for the Agreement to happen, Government, understandably requires evidence from Skills for Logistics that companies are supporting the Agreement at both the regional and national scale.
Extensive research by Skills for Logistics identified six key skills issues, which, unless rectified, will cripple the industry.
During the development of the Logistics Skills Agreement a number of extensive research projects were undertaken. The results of this research is available for download in Adobe PDF.
