Warehouse Vet: Explore Free Community College for Associate's to Enable Career Change.

After 17 years in warehouse roles with no upward mobility, making the jump to supervisory or management positions can be a bit tricky. Employers often look for formal experience and education, so one practical step, as suggested by the community, is to check out free or affordable community college programs. Getting an associate's degree can give you the necessary qualification, show your commitment to career development, and help bridge the gap when applying for roles like Warehouse Supervisor or Team Lead. Combine this with strategically highlighting transferable skills—like problem-solving, process awareness, and the informal leadership you've likely developed over the years—on your resume. This approach can lead to higher earning potential, greater job satisfaction, and more opportunities for career advancement in the logistics sector or related fields.
