Training and vocational school:
Your apprenticeship will last three years and lead you step by step into the world of logistics. You’ll be working at the letter or parcel center and learning everything that’s done there: sorting, operating machines, loading vehicles or trains and ensuring that every consignment heads in the right direction. You’ll sometimes also find yourself in the warehouse or on delivery rounds to familiarize yourself with all aspects of logistics. You’ll become proficient with a forklift truck and really get things moving every day. You’ll attend vocational school and various other courses to ensure that you’re not only on top of things practically, but also on the theoretical side. This will enable you to build up all the know-how you’ll need in your job later on.
