L.O.G.I.C. Student Spotlight: Devin Minter

June 20, 2019

Devin is focused on creating opportunities for a successful career in the warehousing field, and the L.O.G.I.C. (Logistics, Operations, General Warehousing, and Inventory Control) program is helping him get there.

L.O.G.I.C. is part of Delaware Food Works, the Food Bank of Delaware’s workforce development program.

Enrolling primarily to get OSHA-10 and forklift certified, Devin never could have predicted the array of opportunities the program would offer him.

Devin has learned more about himself and his future career goals by touring different facilities like the Walmart Distribution Center and Bloom Energy; however, his favorite place that he has visited is Habitat for Humanity. Previously volunteering for Habitat, Devin knows the importance of having a strong meaning behind his work.

He describes himself as driven and ambitious and says he “is adamant about succeeding in life.”

Devin and his classmates are busy working in both the classroom and warehouse. In the warehouse they are learning how to properly operate equipment like forklifts, end riders, pallet jacks and more. This week they began aerial safety training.

Learning at the Food Bank and interacting with his classmates energizes and inspires Devin—“I love the people, that and learning all the equipment is the best part.” Devin sees each lesson as a chance to learn something new, explaining that he is always “excited and anxious to learn new things.”

“I am thankful for the Food Bank for opening their doors  for me to learn more about my field of choice,” he says. “The staff here are positive, patient, understanding and will do anything in there power to help you succeed.”
