UK ex-military, naval personnel to be re-deployed into civilian logistics
THE British government has awarded a grant of GBP1.14 million (US$1.82 million) to re-train and re-deploy ex-military and naval personnel into the civilian logistics sector.
Through its Skills for Logistics Scheme, part of the Commission for Employment and Skills' Employer Investment (EIF3), the plan aims to help place up to 1,000 personnel from the military into civilian logistics.
Ex-armed forces personnel will be given specific routes into the sector to fill acute driver shortages through newly established Local Logistics Community Networks (LLCNs), said SfL chief executive officer Mick Jackson, an attempt to address transition into the working world.
Of the 25,000 apprenticeships awarded in the sector between August 2004 and July 2011, some 12,000 went to apprentices from the armed forces. "SfL's solution will ensure these logistics skills transfer into the sector by providing service leavers," said Mr Jackson.
