Gwinnett Tech logistics students tour UPS

Students enrolled in Gwinnett Tech’s new logistics program recently spent the day at UPS, hearing firsthand about the diversity of careers within the industry. “Our students had the chance to hear from UPS executives that logistics is the engine that runs all business operations and to hear about the diversity of professional careers that can be realized from the discipline of logistics and supply chain,” said Arebe Taylor, logistics instructor, Gwinnett Tech. “The students also met with human resource professionals who talked with them about logistics-related jobs and internship opportunities.”

With more than 11,000 providers of logistics services, Georgia ranks as the fifth-largest logistics employer in the nation. UPS, headquartered in North Fulton County, is part of Gwinnett Tech’s service area and home to the college’s new campus, now under construction at GA 400 and Old Milton Parkway.
