Are you interested in robots, tech and sustainability? If so, logistics might be the path for you!


Logistics is an essential industry: as well as being parcels to your door and cargo around the world, it’s food on shelves, medicine to the sick and aid to those in need. It keeps the world moving!


So, join us for our dynamic virtual work experience this summer, where we’ll take you on a journey through the world of logistics and give you the chance to get stuck into a range of exciting activities such as our robot design competition.


You’ll get the chance to:


·         Take part in live interactive activities

·         Network with colleagues across the business and other young people like you

·         Hear more about Wincanton and what we do

·         Learn key skills needed for the workplace and top tips for applying for jobs


We strongly encourage that where possible, people utilise their camera and microphone to participate in the event. Although we appreciate that this may not always be possible, we would like all participants get as involved as they can with the placement.


Please note: Application deadlines may be brought forward if we receive high volumes of applications; therefore, we encourage students to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
