MHI Launches iWorkInTheSupplyChain Awareness Campaign
by Carol Miller, MHI VP of Marketing and Communications
“I work in the supply chain” is often followed by “what’s that?” or “what do you do?” Or it can bring to mind negative stereotypes of workers spending endless hours in dark, dingy factories.
The reality is that supply chains are global enterprises led by a diverse group of professionals that utilize innovation, creativity and smart thinking to not only drive operational efficiency but to keep the economy going. Supply chain careers are some of the most rewarding and highly-compensated jobs that are now being seen as the new path to the C-suite.
Today, MHI is launching a new awareness campaign designed to not only promote manufacturing and supply chain as an innovative and rewarding career choice but to change the perception of jobs in the industry. The goal of the #iWorkInTheSupplyChain campaign is to connect, engage and inspire next-generation workers to pursue manufacturing and supply chain careers.
The campaign includes a video titled #iWorkInTheSupplyChain that tells the unique stories of a variety of manufacturing and supply chain professionals.
We invite all who work in manufacturing and the supply chain to join this campaign and share what you proudly do in your career. To do this, MHI has created an interactive Blog at iWorkInTheSupplyChain.com you can join the conversation, tell your unique story, upload videos and connect with other manufacturing and supply chain professionals.
We also ask that you use social media to spread the word. You can Tweet, take a picture, shoot a video or send a message to share their unique story and the difference your job makes in the world by using the #iWorkInTheSupplyChain hashtag.
