EXP and Prologis Prepare the Next Generation of Workforce

According to the recent Los Angeles Business Journal article, “Developing the Next Generation of Logistics Talent in Los Angeles,” the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the transportation, warehousing, and related fields will add close to 735,000 jobs by 2031, driven in part by the growth in e-commerce. The global leader in logistics real estate and an EXP partner, Prologis recognizes the needs and set out to transform the labor market for the entire industry.

With demand for skilled logistics workers at an all-time high, Prologis launches Community Workforce Initiative (CWI) with EXP as its first partner to revitalize career pathways and invest in local communities.

Together [with EXP], we launched the EXP Internship Program: Powered by Prologis, which has placed 363 high school students to date from communities around the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in local trade internships. Students benefit from job skills training workshops, designed with input from Prologis, and receive career guidance from industry executives. Prologis customers that have hosted EXP interns include Nova Transportation Services, Franco Trucking, NFI California Cartage, Yusen Logistics, and Andeavor. Approximately 150 students will go through the EXP Internship Program this summer.

We are proud to be their partner in preparing local students for the future of work and giving them the confidence to succeed in school, career, and life!
