LEAP
Georgia Tech is launching a fast-track certification program to help promote increased participation from Atlanta’s minority youth in high-growth careers. Led by the Georgia Tech Supply Chain and Logistics Institute, the program is supported by a $350,000 grant from JPMorgan Chase & Co. toward the firm’s global New Skills at Work initiative that promotes workforce development to bridge the gap between the talent employers need and the qualifications of the local talent pipeline.
With the goal of attracting 16-24 year olds in Metro Atlanta* to careers in Logistics, the new program can help prepare participants to compete for jobs and successful careers in supply chain and logistics. As an Equal Education Opportunity Institution, applications from veterans, underrepresented minorities and women are strongly encouraged.
4 Courses Focusing on Logistics & Supply Chain Career Readiness
Four main areas of instruction will be covered, based on input received from supply-chain intensive companies based in Atlanta, including Coca-Cola and UPS.
Students will be able to learn at their own pace while progressing toward certification. In addition to the course content, students will receive career coaching, resume advice, and participate in a career fair.
