The transport and logistics industry will need another 5,000 additional workers every year for the next four years, Victoria’s Minister for Skills and Workforce Participation has warned.
Jacinta Allan says the 5,000 people will be required for transport and warehousing jobs, sales, marketing and customer service.
“As the State’s transport and logistics industry continues to expand, it is creating unprecedented job opportunities,” she says.
She says the industry’s growth and technological development means a skilled workforce is more crucial than ever.
“Today’s transport and logistics industry is a modern professional sector that uses complex technologies to meet the changing demands of the domestic economy and international trade,” she says.
“As with the broader Victorian industry, the freight industry is increasingly reliant on a highly-skilled workforce and this challenge offers the opportunity for great career paths.”
