Employers in the industry need to attract new talent to replace those who leave or retire, especially women and those from underrepresented groups and encourage existing staff to gain Level 2 qualifications. Foundation Apprentices work as warehouse pickers/packers, loaders and with appropriate training, fork lift truck operators. Apprentices take on more responsibility including junior team leader roles. This framework will provide opportunities to move into Level 3 jobs and training in Warehousing and into the wider logistics industry.
