Disadvantaged students wanting a career within the Transport and Logistics Industry will be better off thanks to a new partnership between the Transport and Logistics Industry Skills Council (TLISC) and the Mick Young Scholarship Trust (MYST).
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between TLISC and MYST ensuring that financially disadvantaged students gain much needed assistance to help them achieve a Transport and Logistics qualification.
CEO of TLISC, Robert Adams, says that the organisation is committed to identifying training opportunities within the Transport and Logistics industry that are designed to improve the uptake of Training and Logistics qualifications by financially disadvantaged students.
“Educational scholarships can play an important role in ensuring that all students can have access to their career of choice,” Adams says. “The Transport and Logistics Industry plays a vital role in Australia’s economic success and is facing its own challenges in ensuring its workforce is adequately prepared for the future. This initiative will boost the numbers of students wishing to improve their skill sets and gain employment within the industry”.
The MoU was signed on 24 October between Adams, representing TLISC, and Ray Wilson representing MYST.
Background:
MYST is a national scholarship foundation which gives financially disadvantaged students the chance to further their education at TAFE institutes right across Australia. TLISC is one of 11 independent, not-for-profit Industry Skills Councils (ISCs) established by the Australian Government. Led by industry, its mandate is driving the skills and workforce development agenda across the Transport and Logistics industry.
