A message from Mark Baxa, CSCMP President and CEO. With the launch of our new Training-to-Jobs (T2J) initiative, the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals’ (CSCMP) is well on its way to addressing one of the biggest challenges in supply chain today: the shortage of talent. The initiative is part of the new Center for the Advancement in Talent & Training (CATT) and our goal to raise $5 million in donations by 2025 to advance and shape the future of supply chain talent. With the help of our contributors, this first effort focuses on developing educational content at the high school level. It can either be taught in the classroom or offered as self-paced coursework. We hope to attract and serve both high school students who plan to head right into a career after they graduate and those who plan to attend a higher education college or university. In addition to tackling the pain points that affect supply chain labor concerns, we are also using this initiative to reach out to communities that have untapped potential. CATT will combine career training and career pathways for all by providing accessible continuing education and professional development opportunities. We’ll officially launch the Training-to-Jobs initiative in February 2023 in St. Louis, Missouri. We are working with partners in the St. Louis Public Schools Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, as well as with organizations like The Covering House, Rung for Women, Veterans Community Project, St. Louis Youth Development Collaborative, the Education Development Center’s STEM-Ops program, and more. If you haven’t already, please consider a donation to support our vision to:
There are five contribution levels ranging from individual to platinum. The Center is also offering a naming opportunity. For more information or to donate to help advance the future of the supply chain profession and the well-being of our communities, please email CSCMP’s Director, Engagement, Education & Sustainability Cynthia Mebruer at cmebruer@cscmp.org or myself at msbaxa@cscmp.org.

In recent years, the logistics sector has become an increasingly tempting target for cybercriminals for a whole host of reasons. The first is that logistics is one of the most profitable industries worldwide and is an important part of the economy, making it a logical focus for criminals seeking to make a big disruptive impact. Second, although logistics is focused on the physical movement of goods, it also has a big digital footprint. The logistics component of today’s supply chain has come to rely on a significant volume of data processing and information sharing. For example, industry forms that were traditionally paper-based – such as invoices, export compliance certificates, and bills of lading – are now digital. Consequently, fleet operators are now sharing more data digitally with partners and vendors than ever before, which opens them up to more cyber risks. Finally, the cargo supply chain consists of many disparate parties that have varying levels of cybersecurity systems in place. This presents cybercriminals with an opportunity to identify and exploit the weak links in the network.

As supply chain disruptions have taken center stage, so too has the conversation about the end-to-end supply chain, what it means and how it is managed. These conversations are now mainstream and being had by consumers, financial institutions, investors, governments, and retailers alike. The importance of a dynamic, nimble, and visible supply chain is becoming a competitive advantage to deliver a superior customer experience, as consumer spending habits change, disrupting traditional revenue streams. Thank you to CSCMP Corporate Member Dorinda Jung of OOCL Logistics for sharing this CSCMP Hot Topic.
