Sapics conference to fuel interest in supply chain field among youth
This is an online event that is free to attend for Sapics members, full-time students and young professionals under the age of 25.
Through this annual conference, the organisation aims to ensure that young professionals are industry-ready for job opportunities in the dynamic and increasingly critical supply chain management field and that students are aware of the exciting career opportunities in the profession.
Phetla notes that many graduates lack the skills, resources and experience to capitalise on opportunities in the profession. The 2024 SAPICS Young Professional and Student Conference will offer presentations covering technical supply chain topics, as well as the increasingly important "soft skills" of this interdisciplinary profession.
Industry leaders and supply chain specialists will share their knowledge and insights with the attendees. The conference will end with a networking session with Sapics mentors.
"While all young graduates and working people need mentoring as they enter the workplace, it is extremely valuable in fields characterised by volatility and change, like supply chain management. Mentoring is an important element of the Sapics Youth Programme," Phetla says.
