Do consider to study about project management or take up PMP, can earn more.

If you are keen on learning how logistic works in real life you can try some of the well known company that make use of their logistics to save/make money, eg IKEA, DELL.

But is still good to start with forwarder and then specialized on certain area, eg Airfreight, Oceanfreight, operation, project and etc. Then move to shipper or company to help them with their logistics needs.

on your list you can consider,

Bollore
DHL
Kuehne + Nagel (KN)
Schenker
Yusen
ST
Rohde & Schwarz Asia Pte Ltd
CEVA

Dont expect marvellous pay. I have been to few world top forwarders, I can tell you that.
Didnt expect to see my post after 5yrs, time flies. so how's everyone doing in logistic industry. Guess you guys enjoyed the covid period if you are with carriers back then of course LSP are not bad too.

Should we have a updates?

loveburgersandfries go for the more reputable companies like DHL, Keppel and ST Logistics. you will be exposed to how international companies are run, and it will definitely help you in your career. but you can also consider skillsfuture courses as well, since you mentioned skillsfuture. there are courses from poly, BCG RISE, etc, that you join to help you to gain even more skills. with the new skills, you will have more bargaining power in your salary, and also it sets you apart from other applicants

Federated Cargo Line Pte Ltd

I'm from Federated Cargo Line Pte Ltd. It is not a good company to join as the workload are exceeding the benefits given. Please re-consider your choice when apply for the job.

Unregistered Hi, care to update which company did you choose to work for and how's the programme so far? Thank you.

Unregistered You can include Toll and CEVA. They are reputable.

NTUC Fairprice should not be top choice as they are not strictly a supply chain and logistics company.

Do check the location of these companies as most of these are either in the west say Tuas Jurong or East such as Changi, Loyang etc.

3PL Management trainee program

Hi. I am pursuing a career in logistics. Anyone knows how is the MT program in 3PL like? I was told after the program, will be promoted to either supervisor or Am position. Is it true that if you stay in ops side for too long(e.g 3-4 years), it will be hard for u to switch to office enviroment? Any brother/sister can offer their advice? Thanks.
