Preparing the Next Generation of Supply Chain Staff

NextGen4SC is an Erasmus+ Youth project aiming to strengthen the professional profile of young people willing to enter the supply chain sector, supporting them by providing tools & methods to develop high quality skills. The project also offers a community platform for prospective new entrants and interested Supply Chain employers to “meet” and explore potential collaborations.

Objectives

Within firms, skills need to be nurtured & developed through improved provision of training.There is a need for the development & enhancement of career paths for lower skilled young workers.To meet the demand for skilled workers, the relatively poor image of the distribution & logistics sector needs to be improved. Motivated by this need, the project aims to increase the number of qualified & certified specialists to work in supply-chain sector around Europe as well as to support low-skilled unemployed young people to upgrade their skills, providing them with better job placement opportunities.

Today, youth is the leading generation. With more & more academic programmes being focused on the logistics sector, their purpose is to empower them, to qualify them with skills to gain new working opportunities, and raising their competitiveness.
