Impactful career path
A career in

professionals will be able to make a huge impact in their role. With the
continued growth of e-commerce, travel and tourism, roles in transportation are

electrification of transport and supervising work during construction. There’s
also the challenge of maintaining a positive relationship with external
customers and handling difficult clients. In the broader context, there
are major challenges for supply chains, that will affect transportation. This includes concerns around
the environmental impact of logistics and freight. Transportation businesses
