The Olympiad is aimed at students of secondary and post-secondary schools studying for the professions of logistics technician and freight forwarding technician. Its goal is not only to spark interest in logistics topics among young people but also to help evaluate the curriculum in secondary and post-secondary schools.
Laureates and finalists of the Olympiad can expect not only exemptions from the written stage of the vocational qualification confirmation exam but also free studies at the WSL and many material prizes. However, to win them, one must first pass the school and regional stages, and then face the best in the final, which will take place on March 18th at the Poznań School of Logistics, the headquarters of the competition organizer.
– This is already the third edition of the National Logistics Olympiad, which records an incredible increase in the number of participants year after year – claims Wojciech Zalewski, WSL press spokesperson – less than 2 thousand people took part in the first edition, over 3.5 thousand in the second, and this year we received 5.5 thousand applications. Every year, more and more logistics companies decide to cooperate with the Olympiad. These facts prove conclusively that this event is needed by students and valued in the logistics industry. The National Logistics Olympiad is part of the “WSL for secondary schools” program, within which the university has been supporting upper-secondary schools educating in the professions of logistics technician and freight forwarding technician for five years.
The editorial team of the logistyka.net.pl portal has prepared a free set of articles by leading Polish logisticians for the participants.
