With the rise of logistics industry, logistics education has been widely carried out in China. However, due to various reasons, there are many problems in logistics education in China. China Logistics and Purchasing Network, together with Beijing Logitech Technology Development Co., Ltd. and leading media in the logistics industry, such as China Logistics and Purchasing, Modern Logistics News and Logistics Technology, established the "China Logistics Education Forum", which deeply discussed the shortcomings of logistics education in China. Warmly welcome enthusiastic readers to actively participate, and it is best to leave your unit and name in the article. For articles with good opinions, we will select them in China Logistics and Purchasing Network, newspapers, magazines and other media. With the rapid development of China's logistics service industry, the market demand for logistics talents is increasing. This requires that the concept of logistics service must be constantly updated, the technology must be constantly improved and the equipment must be constantly improved. At the same time, the increasing customer demand has triggered the demand for all kinds of logistics talents. According to relevant data, by 20 10, the demand for relevant talents in China's logistics industry will reach 20,000-30,000 per year. According to the current development speed, the gap of logistics employees in China will reach 6 million by then. The nature of logistics posts is different, and the demand for logistics talents is also different. Logistics talents need very professional knowledge, such as foreign languages, customs, international trade, etc. Different regions, different industries and different management positions have different demands for logistics talents. First of all, from the perspective of third-party experts, logistics talents in warehousing, transportation, distribution, handling, freight forwarding and other fields will be scarce in the future, while international logistics senior talents who are familiar with e-commerce logistics talents, chain operation, international logistics and logistics cost control analysis and prediction will be even more scarce, and logistics professionals have been listed as 18. Secondly, from the demand point of view, with the rapid development of the logistics industry, the market demand for logistics talents has greatly increased. This demand can be roughly summarized into four categories: first, enterprise logistics talents; Second, logistics enterprise talents; Third, logistics planning consulting talents; Fourth, logistics research talents. Enterprise logistics talents mainly refer to the operators of logistics functions, such as transportation manager, warehouse manager, customs broker, distributor and customer relationship manager. These personnel must be familiar with the logistics industry, and at the same time master the knowledge of logistics transportation, warehousing, packaging, loading and unloading, and can be skillfully applied to practical work. The demand for talents in logistics enterprises is mainly the third-party logistics marketing talents, who can use logistics knowledge to carry out logistics service marketing in logistics enterprises. As for logistics planning consulting talents and logistics research talents, they mainly refer to compound logistics management planning talents with solid theoretical foundation, profound knowledge, strong logistics science and technology innovation ability and wide knowledge. Finally, from the perspective of supply, there are two main ways to train logistics talents in China, namely, college training and social training. Relevant data show that in 2005, 450 higher vocational colleges offered logistics management majors, 160 colleges offered undergraduate majors in logistics management and logistics engineering, 57 colleges enrolled masters in logistics engineering, and nearly 1,000 technical secondary schools offered logistics management majors. On-the-job education for logistics employees has been fully rolled out; The number of vocational qualification training is increasing day by day. However, although universities and training institutions have trained a large number of logistics talents in recent years, the number is far from meeting the needs of society. In addition, the current school education and industry training are more focused on theoretical teaching and lack of practical experience. There is still a big gap between the professional skills and perspectives mastered by graduates and the needs of enterprises. All these have led to the contradiction between supply and demand of logistics talents. Second, the analysis of the types of talents needed by the logistics industry 1. Strategic Logistics Talents According to the market survey, the main requirements for talents in China's logistics development are: enterprise logistics application talents, logistics project development talents, logistics management talents, logistics teaching and research talents and other strategic logistics talents. Senior management and research talents are needed in the research of enterprise development direction, enterprise management system, enterprise management software development and enterprise equipment research and development. The characteristics of high-level logistics talents are that they are familiar with the overall situation of logistics activities, have forward-looking thinking, are familiar with the logistics theory and application of at least one industry or model, and can strategically analyze and grasp its development characteristics and trends. 2. Management logistics talents The development of modern logistics in China requires not only senior management and research talents engaged in the research of enterprise development direction, enterprise management system, enterprise management software development and enterprise equipment research and development, but also systematic logistics management talents, professional operators who know import and export trade, e-commerce logistics talents, and logistics talents who master the relevant knowledge and operation methods such as commodity distribution, capital turnover and cost accounting. It is characterized by being proficient in modern logistics business activities, having sufficient knowledge of logistics technology, and being good at proposing solutions to meet the needs of logistics activities. 3. Technical and skilled logistics talents The development of logistics enterprises has a multi-level demand for talents. The development of modern logistics in China also needs middle and junior practical talents engaged in equipment operation and maintenance, logistics information collection, processing and sorting, enterprise distribution center management and economic accounting, warehousing, transportation, distribution, freight forwarding, customs declaration and other specific work. There is a shortage of international trade, transportation and logistics management talents who have mastered the theories and skills of modern economy, trade, transportation and logistics and have a solid English ability. Third, analyze the regional differences of logistics talent demand. Eastern coastal areas such as East China and South China are the most economically developed areas in China and the fastest growing areas in China. The highway and waterway are developed, the port cargo throughput is large, high-tech enterprises are concentrated, and the logistics operation benefit is the best; Followed by North China and Southwest China, railways and highways are developed, enterprise concentration is in the middle, and logistics operation efficiency is in the middle. Pearl River Delta is the earliest area in China to develop logistics industry. It has always been the main channel for external contact in South China, Central South China and Southwest China, and it is also an important transportation hub in the southern coastal areas of China. With more than 70,000 manufacturing enterprises, dense transportation facilities, five airports and five ports, China has the densest and busiest air routes. In recent years, the logistics in the Yangtze River Delta has developed rapidly and has gradually become another important logistics base after the Pearl River Delta. Now it has become the region with the best development prospect and the most favored by people in the industry in China. The Yangtze River Delta region occupies a dominant position in port and maritime trade, so there is a great demand for talents in maritime transport, customs declaration and port trade in the southeast coastal areas. These positions require employees to have certain work certificates, be familiar with modern international trade and shipping knowledge, have good English communication skills and be proficient in computer operation. With the proposal of the western development policy, the modern logistics in the western region has developed to some extent, but it is still in its infancy. The development of logistics industry in the central and western regions is not as good as that in the eastern region, and the number of logistics enterprises is much less. Therefore, the number of jobs for logistics talents recruitment is far less than that in the eastern coastal areas. Different from the east, the logistics enterprises in the central and western regions are mostly engaged in transportation and warehousing, and there are fewer international logistics and port logistics enterprises due to geographical restrictions. The western region is the storage area of coal, timber and other resources in China. The logistics network is underdeveloped and mainly depends on railway transportation. The low concentration of enterprises and the low efficiency of logistics operation are the bottlenecks restricting economic development, and the overall level of logistics development lags behind the southeast coastal areas. The vast majority of people engaged in logistics are engaged in low-skill and labor-intensive jobs. Moreover, because these jobs do not require special skills training, the entry threshold is low, and the quality requirements for logistics practitioners are relatively low. To sum up, the requirements of enterprises for the comprehensive ability of logistics talents can be summarized as follows: good communication and overall awareness, practical technical skills, planning future blueprints and teamwork ability. Professional knowledge mainly includes: logistics management knowledge, financial knowledge and other business knowledge, professional English, computer information system knowledge and so on. College graduates are one of the main sources of logistics talents. Strengthening the construction of logistics disciplines and specialties in colleges and universities is the most effective way to improve the knowledge and skills of logistics talents. In addition, constantly exploring new channels and broadening the training of logistics talents is also one of the effective ways to meet the demand of logistics talents.
