As my summer comes to a close I can’t help but reflect upon my experiences with Expeditors in the last several weeks.

Watch this short video to hear about some of my experiences this summer and how I came to find this position with the company! #thisishowweintern #waltonsupplychain #SupplyChainU Brian Fugate J.B.

Over the summer the work that I engaged in significantly enhanced my employability skills. I developed valuable skills like time management, team work and attention to detail. The fast paced environment allowed me to work efficiently under pressure and execute tasks efficiently. I gained firsthand experience in the logistics and supply industry which provided me with valuable insights on how a business operates, the importance of efficient processes and the challenges faced in managing inventory and fulfilling orders. This experience has equipped me with practical knowledge which would be useful in my future career.

New week, new opportunities! 🚚💼 What goals are you securing this week?

At Rapid, we invest in our employees, prioritising their personal and professional development. Helena Tan, a Supply Chain Executive, shares insights into her role. 👇 What is your average day at Rapid Education? 👩💼 As the primary contact for our education suppliers, my responsibilities range from handling quote requests, sourcing products, and organising meetings with suppliers to reviewing agreements, assisting customer services and technical teams with product issues, coordinating marketing promotions, and monitoring and implementing pricing strategies. I also work on expanding our product range with new items and provide daily reports on margins, product statuses, and lead time updates. What specific skills are essential for success in your role at Rapid Education? 🔢 It's fast-paced, so being able to work quickly and multitask is essential. You also need support from all internal teams, so asking questions and working collaboratively is key.   Are there any areas of progress that you are particularly proud of? 📈   I've been here nearly two and a half years and have been given progression opportunities within a year of starting. Being able to learn different job roles has been exciting. It was also great that Rapid was willing to take a chance and invest in me. #Employee #Insight #Rapid #Progression

As part of the second annual Logistics and Supply Chain Skills Week 2024, I made a short presentation at Logistics and Supply Chain Apprenticeships Webinar on the 28th of February hosted by IPICS. We are on the periphery of a golden age for the freight distribution and logistics sector in Ireland. There are real opportunities to become global leaders in the delivery of efficient and professional supply chain services. Our population is expected to grow by over 1 million and the demand for freight services to grow by close to 100% over the next 20 years. To meet our objectives we as an industry must work collaboratively, partnerships within supply chains must be nurtured and developed to support all levels of the supply chain deal with increased costs of operations, decarbonisation and essentially skills shortage challenges. Without the right people to do the job all levels of the supply chain will suffer. The plan and strategy to attract people including many more women into our industry must be a collective supply chain wide strategy. FTA Ireland are delighted and proud to be part of the 2nd Logistics & Supply Chain Skills week. Collaboration is the name of the game. We must continue to work together to enhance opportunities and to make Ireland renowned as global leaders in Supply Chain and Logistics Solutions.

🗓 Today marks the first day of the 2024 Generation Logistics Week, an initiative to find, encourage and engage the next generation of logistics talent. Convey’s Commercial Director Karen Crispe FCILT, herself a Generation Logistics Ambassador since the early days, has been supporting their goals of encouraging more young people, from many different backgrounds and at many different levels, into the logistics sector. ⭐ For 25 years, Karen has always championed the transport industry, particularly our drivers, and has witnessed for herself the far-reaching consequences of driver and skills shortages across the sector. “Our industry truly is an exciting place to be for young people looking for a rewarding career, but the lack of visibility of transport and logistics in our schools and in career advisory organisations is all too obvious. This desperately needs to change if the industry is going to attract and engage the best new talent in the future, and this is where Generation Logistics is playing a vital role” says Karen. ✅ If you’re interested in finding out more about what’s on offer during Generation Logistics Week, or if you know young people who may be interested in exploring a career in logistics, please follow the link below >> ➡ https://lnkd.in/eTtQ-3Hu #glw2024 #generationlogistics #conveytechnology #compliancematters
