Generation Logistics is a campaign that aims to change perceptions and broaden people’s understanding of the logistics sector. It’s crucial to the global economy, and hugely diverse in terms of available roles and required skill sets – everything from driving tankers, to complex engineering and advanced robotics. While part of the initiative has focused on engaging young people directly via social channels, it’s also been about engaging educators, and helping students better understand the prospects and opportunities on offer to them within logistics. This is why we created the Education Hub. 2 INTRODUCING THE EDUCATION HUB The Generation Logistics Education Hub is specifically aimed at teachers and educators, with the intent of providing a library of logistics-related content – all fully aligned to KS3-5 learning objectives – that can be simply and easily integrated into lesson planning. All content is free to download and can be tailored to explorations of foundational concepts in maths, geography and business studies, via a series of engaging activities and challenges rooted in real-world logistics scenarios. 3 MEET OUR AMBASSADORS Generation Logistics Ambassadors help to spread key messages regarding the importance, value, rewards and opportunities available within the sector. They engage and liaise with educators and students directly, helping to deliver guest lessons, site visits and more. To request Ambassador engagement for your school, visit the website below and complete the online form. 4 THE CAREERS BOOKLET As well as the teaching resources hosted on the Education Hub, you can also download our Careers Booklet, which contains an overview of the Generation Logistics project and a detailed outline of exactly what the modern logistics sector looks like, as well as information about the career prospects in the sector young people can pursue. The Careers Booklet also breaks down some key logistics areas (‘job families’) and includes case studies that draw on the experiences of junior and senior logisticians currently working in every area across the sector. 5 GENERATION LOGISTICS WEEK In June 2024, we held the inaugural Generation Logistics Week. The idea behind this event was to hold an online summit for both the next generation of logistics talent and their school and college educators. Over the course of the week, a wide range of interactive content aimed at students and teachers alike was shared via our social channels and the Education Hub, all with the aim of raising wider awareness of the sector and the various career opportunities it can provide. If you’d like to access any of this year’s content, it can still be found and downloaded via the Education Hub.
