Bridging the gap between academia and the professional world is a key factor in anticipating market trends and shaping the leaders of tomorrow. It is in this spirit that the partnership between JOST and HEC Liège has been developed — two committed players united by shared values: ambition, innovation, engagement, and discipline.

This strong connection was recently showcased at the HEC gala evening, through a video highlighting the richness and vitality of this collaboration.

Why is JOST a partner of HEC Liège?

The future of logistics depends on well-educated, agile, curious, and globally minded professionals. By collaborating with HEC Liège, JOST demonstrates its commitment to investing in the development of future skills and talents.

This partnership fosters a constructive relationship with the academic world, opens the company to new perspectives, and contributes actively to the growth of students in a rapidly evolving sector.

A concrete and mutually beneficial partnership

This collaboration goes far beyond institutional visibility. It is built on practical, ongoing actions:

• Development of high-impact internship projects

• Participation in academic and professional events

• Regular exchanges on key logistics challenges

• Integration of students into real-world operational projects

These initiatives allow JOST to welcome fresh ideas while identifying and guiding young talents motivated to work in meaningful and forward-looking careers.

A valuable opportunity for students

For HEC Liège students, this partnership offers a direct look into the operations of a major logistics player in Europe.

Through this collaboration, they gain hands-on experience with JOST teams, exposure to complex issues (flow management, digitalisation, sustainability), and fast-tracked skill development in the field.

This privileged relationship helps students develop operational insight, refine their career goals, and contribute to projects with real impact.

JOST: a company focused on innovation and knowledge-sharing

With over 3,000 employees in 10 countries, JOST stands today as a leading logistics and transport provider in Europe. Its position is supported by a deeply rooted DNA of logistics innovation, operational excellence, and knowledge transfer across generations and environments.
