Sapics has launched a new R50 000-per-annum bursary scheme, named after its late director Rueben Badana.
“The bursary will help deserving students to become Certified Supply Chain Professionals (CSCP), as well as Certified in Production & Inventory Management (CPIM).
As Sapics we believe we have an important role to play in the development of supply chain professionals,” said Gerard de Villiers, chairperson of the Supply Chain Management Education Excellence Awards, which is hosted by SAPICS. “By investing in supply chain skills, we indirectly play a role in bolstering the operations of businesses across a variety of sectors. It’s important for us to do our bit!”
The bursary is open for application to those who are already working within the supply chain and operations management industry. “Sapics will assess individual applicants to determine their current level of skills. Based on the outcome of the assessment and an understanding of where the individual would like to see their career progress in the field of SCM, we will develop a detailed learning path.”
The available courses and programmes will all be from the Sapics/Apics suite of offerings and the successful beneficiaries of the bursary scheme will be announced at the Supply Chain Management Education Excellence Awards to be held in Johannesburg on 15 May 2013.
