One challenge in supply chain management career opportunities is that the “demand for supply chain talent is far exceeding supply, resulting in a shortage of SCM talent” (Dalsin, 2013). To meet the growing demand, the Center for Global Trade and Supply Chain Management is at the forefront of innovative training and education. The career-focused certificates and degrees inside this booklet were designed with the expertise of industry professionals, workforce educators, and governmental representatives. At the end of the day, we’re all about launching careers!
