" High school students are being given a pathway into the transport and logistics industry through an innovative program that sees industry ‘adopt’ a school. Transport Minister Rachel Nolan said the Transport and Logistics Adopt a School program links an industry employer, a school, and a training organisation to offer 15 to 17-year-olds recognised qualifications in logistics and warehousing, and the prospect of further training or employment. “Adopt-a-School provides the industry with a strategy to meet future skill needs, give employers access to a diverse talent pool and allows young people to gain hands-on experience,” Ms Nolan said."
