LOGICLEAP
LogicLeap is part of Vervoerscollege Venlo and offers certified (company) courses that make a structural contribution to lifelong learning and labor mobility in the transport and logistics sector.
LogicLeap does have a fixed range of vocational education and training; yet our strength lies in the fact that the execution is ultimately nowhere the same. Because we think it is important that the client sees their own objective in the approach, the employee experiences recognition of the real daily practice, and there is room for personal development, it is ultimately always tailor-made.
The focus is on intermediate and non-qualified employees who need further training. By recognizing their work experience and intrinsic motivation, and offering training that is directly applicable in daily practice, LogicLeap creates an accessible and pleasant learning culture in which both employers and employees experience that training has value.
In addition to a valuable European recognized diploma, we offer flexible starting times, top teachers from the field, coaching and classroom lessons. This can be done at our location or in-company.
Because we graduate according to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF/NLQF), the education levels are transparent and comparable and our qualifications are recognized throughout Europe.

EXPERIENCE THE SUPPLY CHAIN FOOTAGE
For several years now, the initiators have been joining forces to promote the transport and logistics sector. Together, these companies ensure that both education and job seekers can pick up more information during Experience the Supply Chain.
All companies are involved in the transport of goods in their own way. The freight is transported via overseas to the ports in Rotterdam and Antwerp, and is transferred to trains to, among others Venlo, where they are stored for further transport within Europe.
Purpose of the tour: ‘We hope to give students and job seekers a better picture of logistics,’ according to the initiators. ‘The image is strongly determined by trucks and warehouse work, but the reality is so much richer and so innovative. ‘We want to let students and job seekers experience some of that.’ The tour was live in 2018 and 2019, 2020 and 2021 a conscious decision was made to switch to the digital version. In 2022, we organised another edition. In this edition, we brought together the benefits of both digital and physical editions.
Everything is included! From a peek behind the scenes in a vlog variant to round table discussion about Sustainability and Innovation. The world does not stand still. This also applies in our industry, no day is the same and no challenge to far! Together we provide a smooth flow in the Supply Chain and are an indispensable link in it.

THREE REASONS WHY…
Three reasons why you want to work in the logistics sector…
Working in the logistics. Being interested in processes from the initial product to the final delivery of the product at the customer is one of the reasons why working in logistics is fun. Of course there are many more reasons and that is why we have listed three reasons below, why working in logistics is highly recommended.
- LOGISTICS IS THE FUTURE
- DYNAMIC LOGISTICS WORLD
- VARIOUS TASKS
- LOGISTICS IS THE FUTURE
The first reason is; the logistics sector is moving with the times. Behind a large logistics process, a large-scale automation is involved. Think, for example, of ordering products online (e-commerce, e-fulfillment). Orders can sometimes be delivered the same day to consumers. To make this possible, logistics employees need to be able to devise innovative solutions and renewing of the process, simplifying and making it more sustainable.
The rapidly growing e-commerce industry is creating large distribution centres, making the future for job opportunities and job security in the industry very bright.
2. DYNAMIC LOGISTICS WORLD
The second reason is; the logistics sector is challenging. Properly managing the delivery of the right products at the right time and in the right place in not that easy. No day is the same in logistics. The trick is to prevent deviations in the system. For example, it is possible that one day a part of the system is central to further development and the next day a system error has to be repaired.
The systems have to be active 24/7, the globalization of companies and their customers is causing more and more wishes and requirements. The focus of companies is increasingly shifting from national to international.
3. VARIOUS TASKS
And the third reason is; a logistics employee is a broad term. As a result, a logistics employee can find a job in countless links of the logistics process at various companies in the sector, but also in a broader sense. For example, tasks can be on operational tactical, strategic or support level. Think, for example, of planning transports, inventorying and managing stocks and preparing transport documents and taking into account customs activities and major changes such as Brexit and model shifts. But also jobs at departments as IT, Marketing, Business Development, Sales, Tenders, Customs and also contact with customers, etc.
