GV Supply Chain

During session 5 on Monday 5 June, Greater Shepparton Secondary College students Guy, Naomi, Marc and Grace, along with Wodonga TAFE Trainer, Steve and Kirsten Elliott from the Industry Training Hub, visited the SPC Factory Sales site to tour the shop front floor and part of the warehouse. It was great to put some of the theory students have learnt into perspective – to look at how goods are packaged and seeing an electric and manual pallet jack used in the workplace.  The students gained a variety of targeted and transferable skills, while completing units from the Certificate II in Supply Chain (TLI20421) which includes three accredited units:

• Communication in the workplace (Unit TLIE1003)
• Pick and process orders (Unit TLIA0022)
• Packaged goods (Unit TLIA0020)

The students learnt how to use the electric pallet jack and manual pallet jack, used scales to weigh items, aspects of quality control – checking each others work when picking and packing orders, reading documentation - reading a picking slip, along with many non accredited learnings, how to do tasks and what is expected on the job. It was great to ‘pilot’ this pathway for the first time with Wodonga TAFE. 

So many opportunities for young people to get a start in the Transport, Warehousing and Logistics sector in an entry level role across our region.
