The economy, professional associations, and employers are lamenting the lack of qualified young talent. The ABB Technical School located in Baden and Sursee currently trains around 600 specialists and managers (including from logistics) and focuses on practical, part-time training – true to its motto “From practice, for practice”.
(Baden) The logistics industry is currently undergoing significant upheaval. Pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, climate change, inflation, supply bottlenecks, and stalled supply chains, along with looming energy shortages – society, industry, and the economy are globally confronted with complex and multifaceted problems that pose extraordinary challenges to distribution chains and the entire logistics market. Deficiencies in the area of digital transformation have become apparent, as digitalization processes have not yet been satisfactorily implemented everywhere. The digitalization of value chains has a significant impact on efficient processes. The focus is on avoiding idle times, but special attention must also be paid to environmentally conscious processes and sustainability.
Training with a Focus on International Logistics
The importance of digitalizing value chains is specifically addressed in the part-time continuing education at the ABB Technical School. The training with a focus on international logistics for the “Dipl. Process Technician HF” is the highest logistics qualification in Switzerland outside of higher education. Graduates of the three-year, part-time program are prepared to manage the planning, execution, and control of the entire flow of goods, information, and values in a dynamic environment – logistics managers who can develop and implement solutions at the cutting edge of technology even in extraordinary situations.
Dipl. Process Technicians HF with a focus on international logistics have diverse development opportunities and excellent career prospects
Logistics professionals trained at the higher technical school level are architects for national and international goods transport. In a dynamic environment, they manage the planning, execution, and control of the entire flow of goods, information, and values. Switzerland, as a classic export country, relies on experts who can build and operate global logistics networks and value chains while considering international frameworks. They understand the critical influencing and success factors for correct delivery regarding time, quantity, quality, cost, goods, and location and are responsible for the optimal use of operational resources.
Next Course
The next educational program Process Technology HF with a focus on international logistics at the ABB Technical School starts in October 2022. Interested parties can gain insight into the study program at the online information event on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at 6:30 PM.
