Demand for China to logistics professionals with university qualifications will be 300,000 to 400,000 by 2010, Xinhua reported.
More than a million in the Chinese logistics industry will be required to obtain on-the-job training by 2010, the report said.
Logistics professionals have been in short supply in China as Chinese universities have been lagging behind in logistics education, the report said.
There are now 218 Chinese universities with logistics degree programmes, and this is far from enough to meet the market demand.
There is great potential for the development of degree programmes in logistics and universities in China should improve teaching and training capacity in this field to cultivate more qualified workers for the logistics companies, the report added.
