Education

TIA's First Trimester 2022 CTB Online Course opened on January 3. Take your 3PL career to the next level with the industry’s highest professional designation, the Certified Transportation Broker (CTB). By earning your CTB, it shows you have the knowledge base, professional integrity, and professional commitment that elevates you above your industry peers–resulting in increased recognition. Note the online exam will be held April 23, 2022. Register now!

 

Employee onboarding can be challenging, costly, and time-consuming, but the New Employee Orientation Course from Transportation Intermediaries Association eases the burden providing an overview of rules/regulations, business ethics, how to sell, and more!

 

We’re excited to announce the relaunch of the Partnership Selling in the Supply Chain (PSSC) online course, which has been completely revamped with all new content and videos. Designed to address the unique characteristics of selling in the 3PL industry, this online course combines printed text with online assignments, study guides, videos and quizzes. With the PSSC Course from TIA, you’ll become a relationships expert—and the first call carriers and shippers make. 

 

Beth Carroll and her team at the Prosperio Group are collecting data for the 2021 Compensation Survey. Participants who provide their compensation data will receive three-months of complimentary access to the online report. During these unprecedented times, it is more vital to know what other companies are paying or you could lose your top talent and be left behind in your recruiting efforts. Please Note: We have moved to an all-digital format for the Compensation Survey and will no longer produce printed versions. What you need to do to participate:

  1. Download the Excel pay file.
  2. Complete pay file and return to measureup@prosperiogroup.com
  3. Register your company at measure-up.net.

As always, we adhere to all DOJ rules in regard to compensation surveys. The more participation we have the more valuable the tool is for everyone. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at beth.carroll@prosperiogroup.com or 815-302-1030.
