Class overview
During your course of study in this program, you’ll get a hands-on look at how products move around the world and what careers are available to you. You will learn about the various career opportunities in the logistics industry. You’ll explore jobs like logistics planner, warehouse manager, and global business coordinator, and see how they help make sure the right products get to the right place at the right time.
We will be using material handling equipment that is normally found in a warehouse and retail store setting, so you’ll get to practice with real-world tools instead of just reading about them. We will also be completing fun, project-based learning modules where you step into the role of a logistics planner or manager for a major company and solve real-life style problems.
We also take several field trips during the school year to airports, ports, distribution centers, and local businesses, which will deepen your knowledge about our growing field and let you see these careers in action. These trips can also help you make connections that might lead to internships, job shadows, or other career opportunities after high school.

For Parents:
Students in logistics/business technical programs are more likely to graduate and families report higher satisfaction with school because learning feels relevant and real-world.
These programs build practical skills, provide work-based learning, and often offer industry certifications and college credit that improve employability and reduce future education costs.
Graduates have clearer career direction, better employment prospects, and stronger long-term earnings in high-demand fields like business, logistics, and supply chain management.
