Students unlock their futures at Modex 2024


On Wednesday, high school and university students and educators will be introduced to career opportunities in materials handling, supply chain and logistics through hands-on learning and networking with industry professionals.

Organized by MHI in partnership with Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC), College Industry Council on Material Handling Education (CICMHE), Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA) and the Material Handling Education Foundation (MHEFI), Student Day at MODEX will be bigger and better than ever in 2024.

According to JoAnna Leon, director, WERC membership and MHI-CICMHE, more than 500 students (up from 305 at the last Modex show) will have the opportunity to tour the exhibition and get a firsthand look at the latest in supply chain technologies. The interactive event is designed for college, university, trade, technical, specialty, and high school students.

The day's highlight is the guided tour of the Modex 2024 show floor, led by industry experts, and the opportunity to meet with exhibiting companies looking for future employees and gain a real-world understanding of the products, services, and technologies that enable the supply chain. Students will walk away feeling inspired and empowered with a broader network of professionals who can support their career goals.
