Eager to turn the page on disruption and upheaval, supply chain programs bookmark critical skill sets and help prepare future leaders and logisticians.
As supply chain complexity increases and business disruptions grow more pronounced, supply chain education programs at the undergraduate and graduate level are responding to bolster the skill sets of upcoming and current supply chain practitioners.
WHAT’S THE ONE THING YOU WOULD DO TO SOLVE THE TALENT GAP?
“Take advantage of the dip in employment in traditional technology firms to hire tech-savvy workers. Supply chain management needs more workers with data science and computing skills than they have been able to attract.
Employees who previously spent most of their time writing code or analyzing data could find themselves working on bigger picture issues and developing tools to make supply chain systems run more smoothly.”
