Some job titles carry obvious duties, like firefighter. Others aren t always immediately clear, like supply chain manager or logistics analyst. There are openings in these less obvious jobs, but those already in the field are having difficulty convincing young people to make it a career.
A webinar called Building Buffalo Niagara Supply Chain Workforce Wednesday, sponsored by World Trade Center Buffalo Niagara, looked at how to explain the wide-ranging duties in supply chains to those looking for jobs and careers for themselves or their children.
The webinar said Buffalo Niagara’s binational economy was built on trade and logistics, and remaining competitive today requires recruit a continuous supply of workers to support growth. The patterns of shipping in these COVID times, especially, reflect the growing need for workers. Recruitment might start in high school among those looking ahead to careers.
