Training Programme for the Freight Logistics SectorIn view of a lack of a structured training programme for the freight logistics industry, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong (CILTHK) and Hongkong Association of Freight Forwarding and Logistics Association Limited (HAFFA) are collaborating in developing a vocational training programme with funding supporting from the HKSAR Government (acting through the Hong Kong Logistics Development Council). The programme has two main streams in Airfreight and Seafreight, which are aimed to enhance the skills and capabilities of the workforce, especially newcomers. It provides basic technical skills, industry-specific knowledge and sound implementation guidelines of freight operations. The first module in both streams are planned for launching by end of 2008, and further details will be publicised through each institution’s networks later.

CILTHK 40th Anniversary One-Day Trip, 3rd August 2008To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of CILT Hong Kong, the Membership Committee and Education & Training Committee have organised the One-Day Trip for members and their family members. The trip was enjoyable notwithstanding that the temperature was nearly 34˚C on that day. Away from the bustling city, participants were able to visit and enjoy the rural and scenic parts of Hong Kong - Hong Kong Wetland Park / Ping Shan Tang Heritage Trail and Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery, and also felt more knowledgeable about the heritage of Hong Kong.

To share those enjoyable moments, photos have been uploaded on the URL (http://www.cilt.org.hk/memberzone/). If you have any enquiry, please contact Miss Carmen Tsang at 2866-6336.
