Careers in Transportation and Logistics
The
UNF Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program offers a unique and rewarding
undergraduate degree program that prepares students for exciting, diverse and challenging
careers in supply chain management, international logistics, transportation,
materials management, and physical distribution. Graduates have accepted
positions with well-known regional firms as well as with major corporations
across the country. Transportation and logistics companies and organizations
provide a dedicated $44,000 in scholarship opportunities for our T&L
majors.
Every
company has some aspect of logistics within it. We handle everything from
procurement to delivery, and all the steps in between. Due to the
rapid increase in international trade, firms require supply chain and logistics-based
solutions to operate efficiently. This need has accelerated the demand for
logistics professionals who possess the knowledge and skills needed to manage
sophisticated systems within the supply chain. 75% of graduates from the
T&L program receive job offers in their field.
The
profession offers excellent salaries and provides advancement opportunities both
in the United States and internationally.
Coggin Career Management Center
The
Coggin College of Business Career Management Center offers specialized services
to help students prepare for a successful career path and offers an online
management system for job listings through Handshake, a robust online portal
for students, alumni and recruiters.
Internships
The
UNF Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program offers internship
opportunities to provide students with first-hand experience and the ability to
apply educational concepts to problems and issues confronting organizations
doing business in transportation, logistics and supply chain management. The
requirements for semester long internships for academic credit are in the
T&L Internship Handbook. Internships for academic credit are not required
in the T&L program of study; however, most students obtain part-time
internships without receiving academic credit in order to gain practical
experience before graduation. Students who are looking for internships and
full-time positions are encouraged to attend the T&L Career Day and
Employer Expo in February and October.
