Work placement opportunities for students in the logistics sector

Abril Plasencia Queralt

From the Cluster Catalonia Logistics, we would like to inform companies in the sector about a collaboration opportunity with students who are about to complete the Professional Certificate in Transport and Distribution Organisation.

 

This certificate provides specialised training that prepares students to work in various areas of logistics management and freight transport. To complete their training and obtain their qualification, students are required to undertake a 105-hour work placement in companies within the sector.

 

For this reason, we are reaching out to companies that may be interested in, or have a need to host, students on work placements over the coming months.

 

The students have received training in areas such as last-mile distribution, long-distance transport, logistics chain optimisation, and professional English applied to logistics and international transport.

 

During their work placements, students will be able to actively contribute to tasks such as:

  • Preparing optimised route plans based on the available data.

  • Calculating last-mile distribution costs, taking potential deviations into account.

  • Implementing preventive measures to minimise physical and mental risks.

  • Applying techniques to reduce pollution and improve environmental sustainability.

  • Completing freight transport documentation in accordance with current regulations.

  • Managing relationships with customers and suppliers through effective communication tools.

  • Using English for logistics and international transport activities.

  • Actively participating in the company’s work processes, following established guidelines.

 

This is an opportunity for your company to benefit from the students’ talent while contributing to the professional development of future logistics and transport specialists.

 

The placements will take place within the framework of the corresponding work placement agreement and will allow students to apply their skills according to each company’s needs and activities.

 

If your company is interested in hosting students on work placements, or if you believe you may have a need in this area and would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Send us a message at marta@catalonialogistics.com or comunicacio@catalonialogistics.com.
