Degrees in the area of Operations Management, Supply Chain Management and Engineering are being offered at most of the universities/colleges. - In terms of vocational studies, TAFE Institutions and Colleges provide short courses, Certificates I-IV and Diplomas in different areas ranging from purchasing, transport, warehousing, maritime and aviation. - Training Institutions offer courses (some of which are government funded) similar to the certificates and short courses offered by TAFE. - Several companies in the industry also provide internal development programs, such as the graduate Program or Traineeship - Program offered by Linfox and DHL. - Other training channels include: LAA/apics which coordinates a mentoring program and short courses, TLISC which provides training packages in Transport, Logistics, Maritime and Aviation, TDT Victoria which offers cadetship programs related to Transport, Distribution and Logistics, and MGSM and CSIRO which offer executive courses. • Although it seems that industry provides strong coverage of education and training channels, the need to improve integration between these channels and long term capability requirements is highlighted as a key challenge facing the industry [18]. www.laa.asn.au 25
