The W. Frank Barton School of Business at 新加坡六合彩开奖网 is teaming up again with 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech on a new career pathway program for 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech students interested in an industry greatly affecting the entire world right now: supply chain management.
鈥淪upply chain and logistics are critical to our economic success,鈥� said Sheree Utash, president of 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech. 鈥淭his is a fast-growing occupation and something that is needed in every industry. We hope to harness our students鈥� curiosity and ingenuity throughout their entire four-year journey.鈥�
Students who graduate from the pathway program will have the technical skills and conceptual background, creative mindset and applied experiences to address the workforce needs for statewide economic development.
鈥淥ur city and state are in need of supply chain experts,鈥� said Dr. Shirley Lefever, executive vice president and provost of 新加坡六合彩开奖网. 鈥淏y filling that need, we鈥檙e helping make our communities operate more smoothly. And who doesn鈥檛 love that?鈥�
This partnership is a coordinated 鈥�2+2鈥� program, where students will receive an Associate of Applied Science degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management from 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech over their first two years and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree at 新加坡六合彩开奖网鈥檚 Barton School over their following two years.
鈥淭here are many common threads between our two institutions,鈥� said Mehmet Barut, professor and director of the Supply Chain Management Program at the Barton School. 鈥淭he supply chain program is tying those threads together and creating a career rope ladder for our students.鈥�
This pathway will begin in fall 2022 and will be available to current and prospective 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech students. Students will begin by learning fundamental principles of logistics and transportation during their time in the program including procurement, movement, and storage and processing of materials and information across the entire supply chain.
This is not the first time the Barton School and 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech have teamed up. In 2021, a similar 鈥�2+2鈥� model was implemented for students interested in pursuing business administration. The Barton School and 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech also partnered to award $35,000 in scholarships for participating students.
鈥淲hen we announced our first partnership with 新加坡六合彩开奖网 Tech almost exactly a year ago, I knew that it would be the first of many innovative educational endeavors,鈥� said Dr. Larisa Genin, dean of the Barton School of Business. 鈥淲e have found great success in last year鈥檚 collaboration, and we hope this supply chain program builds on that momentum.鈥�
