The YES App: As a YES learner, you will be required to engage with a digital learning platform via a smartphone. Ensure you are comfortable using mobile apps for reporting and training.
Accuracy is Key: Logistics is built on precision. In your application or interview, mention any experience (even school-based) where you had to manage lists, numbers, or stock.
Warehouse Readiness: This is not a desk job. It involves standing, walking, and moving packages. Mention your physical fitness and readiness for an active work environment.

Skills Development: You will learn world-class logistics processes and gain exposure to "Lean" management principles.
Career Path: High-performing YES learners are often the first in line for permanent Warehouse Assistant or Admin Clerk roles when vacancies arise at the end of the 12 months.
Tip: Before applying, research DHL’s "Safety First" culture. During an interview, expressing a genuine commitment to workplace safety will make you a very attractive candidate to their recruitment team.
