Career pathways in transport and logistics
The transport and logistics industry is critical to the economic growth and sustainability of Queensland's economy. It provides a vital service, moving people and freight locally, regionally, nationally and internationally using a variety of modes including road, rail, sea and air. Considering that the amount of freight moved around Australia is expected to double by 2020, it is important to replace and boost the current 112 000 Queenslanders who are working in the industry now.†
The transport and logistics industry offers a diverse range of exciting career opportunities that are local, national and global. Whatever you are into, you can get into transport and logistics.
