Today’s global market demands skilled entry to mid-level practitioners to support the management of increasingly complex upstream and downstream components of extended supply chains. PMAC now introduces a series of courses and seminars in supply management to meet this need for proficiency in functional area processes and technical competencies.
PMAC’s Provincial and Territorial Institutes are scheduled to begin offering the new supply management training in January 2009, with a pilot already under way in British Columbia.
Supply management training consists of introductory technical courses, soft skill seminars and business management seminars. Participants can access either a single course or seminar, or can complete the entire package and earn a Diploma in Supply Management.
The intended audience is junior and intermediate practitioners requiring a technical competence in supply management. The training will also be of interest to others seeking knowledge of supply management at an introductory level.
The new training is distinct from the Strategic Supply Chain Management Leadership Program, and cannot be applied towards SCMP accreditation.
