To help boost the local skilled workforce in supply chain management, SPC will begin offering entry to mid-level certifications in January 2015. The training is being offered through a $1.5 million federal grant received last year.
The LINCS (Leveraging, Integrating, Networking, and Coordinating Supplies) Supply Chain Management Training Program is a great way to earn entry to mid-level industry certifications that will enable individuals to enter and advance in their supply chain careers.
The certifications, to be endorsed by the national Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), will cover key aspects of supply chain management like planning and forecasting, purchasing, product assembly, storage and transportation. The training programs will include internships, apprenticeships and on-the-job training opportunities so participants get hands-on, real world experience.
“The initiative will solidify partnerships among colleges, universities and the industry, while at the same time, provide opportunities for students to access the training, skills and resources needed to succeed in today’s competitive job market,” said Greg Nenstiel, Dean of SPC’s College of Business. “Students will be able to earn stackable certifications that lead to in-demand jobs, as well as college credit.”
