Education is the key to my link success in today’s economy. This is the case whether you’re a college student looking for an associate’s degree, a recent graduate seeking to earn a Master’s degree or an executive from the workplace who is looking to improve your logistics knowledge and capabilities. There are plenty of educational opportunities available to fit your schedule, your budget, and your career goals.
Colleges and universities offer bachelor’s degrees in supply chain management transportation and distribution, and international trade and customs. These programs offer a broad understanding of all aspects of the field, including sourcing and procurement and transportation systems and global logistics as well as warehouse and inventory management, and import and export laws and regulations.
Professional organizations also offer certifications and continuing education courses. For example the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals offers an Certified Logistics Professional (CLMP) certification which requires a bachelor’s degree and three years of industry experience. Another alternative is the Certified Contract Manager (CPCM) which is offered by the National Contract Management Association. This certification focuses on contract management in certain industries, like commerce, defense and federal and local government agencies, as well as education.
Companies are seeking classes that are tailored to their business needs. This is particularly true for logistics professionals who oversee distribution and storage of consumer products. It is therefore important to look into your options and choose an option that is compatible with your career goals. Consideration should be given to the location, tuition costs and financial aid, course offerings and staffing.
