PrevThis commercial popped up on my computer & I could not stop watching. I might have to use this in my Intro to SCM class. Brilliant. I have not watched a 2 minute commercial since…ever?

  • Reminder: Effective in Feb 2023, CPIM will be reconfigured under version 8.0 moving from 2 courses & 2 exams to 1. Students: 3 supply chain orgs you can join (ISMworld.org-$35, CSCMP.org, $40 & ASCM.org for free!). SCM pros w/ at least 1 APICS cert have a median salary of $90K, which is 27% higher than those w/o a cert. (according to the 2021 Career Report).

That stands in contrast to law schools, where roughly 6% of programs had grads w/ higher median earnings than debt in the same time frame.
  • “Companies have been shifting from a “traditional experience-based” hiring approach to a skills-first one…” Keep that in mind w/ your resume & LI profile.
