The Brightest “30 under 30” Shed Light on Supply Chain Careers
by Morgan Cruz, Marketing Content Coordinator, MHI | @mhi_morgan
The manufacturing and supply chain industry has a growing need for young talent as baby boomers are expected to leave the industry within the next ten to fifteen years. The industry is working to raise awareness about the variety of career opportunities available. In years past, a career in manufacturing and the supply chain was typically something that you fell into instead of actively pursuing. Now supply chain programs are offered by many colleges and universities and are recognized as a major part of a company’s success.
In support of this awareness, ThomasNet and the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) are highlighting the presence of young professionals in the supply chain and celebrating their success through the “30 under 30” Rising Supply Chain Stars Program. Nominations were taken from a variety of companies from May to July 2014. The program received a total of 225 nominees, all of which have shown outstanding leadership, awareness and success in the supply chain industry. Winners will be announced in January and receive one year free ISM membership. In addition, the top star will win an all expense paid trip to the ISM 2015 Conference in Phoenix with his or her nominator.
This program is a great way to recognize young professionals pursuing careers in supply chain, developing strong business skills and knowledge of technology and logistics. The top “30 under 30” are talented and ambitious individuals who inspire others to see all that the industry has to offer. Stay tuned for the list of top “30 under 30” finalists!
