Our Focus
Our four focus areas of the CSCMP Talent Center serve to guide and direct our resource allocation and investment priorities. These areas have been identified as core needs and opportunities across educational and career journeys. The CSCMP Talent Center will work to:
Increase awareness of supply chain careers as viable and lucrative, particularly among nontraditional and diverse audiences, including in minority, veteran, women, and low-income communities as a path for success and upward mobility.
Give professionals in supply chain careers a path to educational opportunities, internships, mentorships, and event experiences by underwriting the costs of programs & events and eliminating financial barriers to advance their skills and talents.
Serve as a conduit for financial assistance in the form of merit- and needs-based grants and loan relief opportunities, working to ensure that financial constraints are not burdensome to committed professionals.
Invest in thought leadership and research that promote the supply chain professional to coexist and deliver value in a technologically motivated and advancing society.
Who We Serve
Because we aim to attract and retain the best supply chain talent, we have identified talent “pools” where the CSCMP Talent Center’s programs and mission will be most beneficial to, and have the greatest return for, current and future professionals and the supply chain discipline overall. These include:
Military Veterans
Skilled, disciplined and trained, veterans are uniquely positioned to transition into civilian life by entering the supply chain profession.
Active & Engaged Youth
Youth who have demonstrated initiative and are involved in their communities will have a unique chance to explore career options in supply chain.
Women
The supply chain discipline - at all levels and in all industries - encourages women to become a part of a growing profession full of opportunity.
Diverse, Multicultural Communities
There is no shortage of opportunities to pursue a career path in supply chain and widening the path for a more inclusive and diverse workforce only strengthens the future supply chain talent pool and paves the way for successful careers - and lives - for those who pursue it.
Aspiring Young Professionals
Educated and growth-minded, current supply chain professionals need support and security early in their careers, and we’re here to help.
Early, Community & Technical College Students
Early, community and technical college students - commuters, first-generation college students, working, and transfer students - bring dynamism to the profession and can begin a successful career journey in supply chain.
