This question is about certification programs.
There are mixed views from industry as to the usefulness of certification and specialized educational programs. While there are several courses and programs related to logistics and supply chain management being offered, approximately half of employer respondents indicate that technical training courses that meet the needs of supply chain personnel are difficult to find, and indicate that professional development courses are difficult to find. Just under half of surveyed employers indicate that recent graduates of supply chain programs have the required skills to meet job requirements.
Despite employers indicating that finding required skills is a challenge, academic institutions indicate that they are offering content related to employers' main skill requirements. Perhaps the discrepancy is a reflection of the content within these areas that is being delivered eg applicability, uptodate, relevant tools, etc. and the extent to which employers are aware of the educational programs that are available.
The majority of academic institutions indicate that demand for logistics courses appears to be increasing. All surveyed academic institutions reported that they had sufficient capacity to meet demand. The most common challenge faced by academic institutions in meeting increased demand is hiring sufficient qualified instructors.
