What does a trainee shipping do?

A Trainee Shipping works in the shipping or logistics department of a company, learning the basics of coordinating the transportation of goods. Their responsibilities typically include assisting with preparing shipping documents, tracking shipments, learning about customs regulations, and supporting senior staff with day-to-day logistics operations. Trainees gain hands-on experience in managing inventory, liaising with carriers, and ensuring that shipments are delivered on time and in compliance with regulations.
