The Programme aims to improve the supply chain knowledge and skills of individuals in primary industries through an interactive online mentoring programme. It will be delivered over a four-month period later this year, with participants meeting for one hour on a fortnightly basis via Zoom.
Different industry specialists will be invited to share their experiences and answer questions. Focus areas will be flexible, allowing for discussions on various topics such as negotiating with supply chain partners, building strong supplier/customer relationships, understanding supply chain resilience, and practical tips to interact with supply chain partners.
The Primary Industries Supply Chain Skills Mentoring Programme is aligned with the MPI Careers Pathway Scheme and will be hosted free of charge to 30 participants.
Massey University Senior Lecturer Carel Bezuidenhout says, “We are excited to offer this programme to individuals in the primary industries and invite anybody to register their interest with us.”
Persons interested in participating in the programme can register here.
