TRS has launched a brand new Skills Bootcamp in collaboration with the British International Freight Association (BIFA) to support employers in the sector.
This bootcamp introduces the importing and exporting of products suited to those already involved in freight forwarding or those wishing to step into the sector. Subsidised by the West Midlands Combined Authority, the discounted training course is for individuals living or working within the combined authority’s catchment area.

Kevin Birch, Managing Director at TRS, enthuses, “We are very excited about the launch of our International Freight Forwarding Skills Bootcamp. Thanks to funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority, we can offer an essential industry skills course at a greatly reduced rate. We are very proud to be running this programme in conjunction with BIFA, which will deliver some essential modules.”
BIFA, central to this collaboration, is the leading trade association for UK companies engaged in international freight transport. Its deep-seated expertise in the sector makes it the ideal organisation to partner with to address employers’ skills needs.

The first course is scheduled to commence this month and TRS is now actively recruiting for the programme, which aims to be affordable for smaller firms.
SMEs can access the training for £200 plus VAT, while larger employers with over 250 employees can enrol their staff for £600 plus VAT.
