The Express Apprenticeship Career Stairway
Individual express trailblazers from L2 to L6 are detailed here, but first to define the context. Where do Express Trailblazers fit in Road Based Logistics - Professional Development Stairway (PDS) ?
Occupations in road transport logistics. Three clear streams, respected and mapped by the former skills council into Heavy transport, Warehouse and Express, mail.
The Professional Development Stairway (PDS) was developed by the sector skills council, Skills for Logistics and later adopted by the Logistics Guild and the National Logistics Academy. It is an excellent signpost to occupations in the sector. It was a job done by and for employers and has gained great respect over the years. Based on the functional and occupational mapping that underpinned National Occupational Standards, it set the framework for the logistics sector’s NVQ/SVQ and QCF qualifications.
PDS provided a comprehensive view of the range of job roles in the transport logistics sector open to employees at all levels. The levels of PDS and the transfer and progression routes it illustrates provide a route map for any career in logistics from LGV driver to warehouse worker or sortation hub operative, from postal delivery to international logistics director.
