Created in partnership with corporate learning pioneer, CorpU, Penn State’s new program aims to help supply chain leaders of tomorrow apply critical leadership concepts and best practices in holistic supply chain management. Through a three-pronged approach, the program draws on best practices in situation-based learning to not only cultivate student competencies, but also drive organizational improvement through adoption of end-to-end supply chain management.
“The supply chain industry is more integral to our lives today than it ever has been, and yet it’s threatened by a growing shortage of trained supply chain and logistics professionals,” said Alan Todd, chief executive officer of CorpU. “This is an online bootcamp for companies who want to close that skills gap and maximize organizational effectiveness.”
Participants will participate in three five-week courses that focus on end-to-end supply chain excellence, integrated supply networks, and supply chain leadership. Learners will also have access to weekly live events with globally recognized supply chain experts such as Smeal College’s Christopher W. Craighead and C. John Langley, Jr. as well as Chain Connectors Inc. Partner Christopher Norek.
Participants who enroll in the Supply Chain Leadership Academy will be eligible for the Professional Certificate in Supply Chain Integration awarded by Penn State Smeal College of Business. To learn more about the program, visit http://www.corpu.com/supply.
