Champion Freight recently expanded operations, developing inhouse
software solutions for clients to enhance and improve logistics services. It
signals an exciting new era for the company, embracing technology
through recruitment and staff development.
Citing Vision College’s strong reputation for academic excellence and
digital expertise, we sought their assistance to appoint a proficient
developer from a range of IT enrolments. This led to the successful
appointment of Elliott who was an undergraduate student at the time.
Working together to facilitate a path to graduation through on-the-job
experience, we were thoroughly impressed with the proactive assistance
provided by Vision College. Elliott’s broad technical knowledge and ability
to adapt quickly to the role is a testament to the quality of tertiary
education provided and we look forward to repeating the process in the
future as operations expand.
