Dana Hough has almost literally worked his way up to where he is today at one of Canada’s largest agricultural and resource firms. Having started with Nutrien at its Allan potash operation southeast of Saskatoon working underground in the mine, he eventually moved above ground to work in shipping and receiving. “There, I learned many aspects of the supply chain, and warehousing,” Hough says. Yet after a few years, he recognized the need for more education to advance his career in supply chain management. “So, I started to take night classes to work toward my diploma in the field,” he says about the Supply Chain Management Training (SMT) program. Offered by Supply Chain Canada Institutes, the SMT program offers early-stage to mid-level practitioners working in warehousing, logistics, procurement, and shipping and receiving the necessary skills to advance their careers in this important facet of operations for many different sectors of the economy--mining and agriculture included. Available online, the SMT program offer learners the flexibility to work through course materials while continuing to work in their current supply chain-related occupations. For Hough, getting his SMT was the first step toward where he is today as an inventory controller at Nutrien, a position he has held for the last six years. “The SMT program is an excellent ‘foot-in-the-door’ for individuals early in their roles in supply chain seeking to advance their careers,” says Donna Lyn Thorsteinson, CAE, chief executive officer of the Saskatchewan Institute for Supply Chain Canada. Many SMT diploma graduates often then pursue a SCMP designation from the institute as they progress into management roles. It’s a path Hough followed while taking night classes at the University of Saskatchewan’s Edwards School of Business to gain many of the prerequisites to enrol in the SCMP program, which requires a business-related post-secondary degree or diploma, or five years of supply chain work experience. “The SCMP designation is Canada's leading designation for supply chain professionals,” Thorsteinson says. Hough can certainly attest to that. “Without a doubt, what I learned through these programs helped me excel at Nutrien, applying acquired skills and concepts daily as a supply chain management professional,” he says. Other individuals working in supply chain positions in the province can look forward to a similar trajectory upon receiving their SMT diploma and SCMP designation, Thorsteinson says.  “While Hough’s story may differ from yours, there are numerous paths to successfully complete our programs, and we look forward to working with you to explore your options.” To learn more about the Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) and Supply Chain Management Training (SMT) programs, visit: www.supplychaincanada.com #NationallyKnown #SupplyChain #Leaders #Professional #Experts #Education #Canada Supply Chain Canada, Saskatchewan Institute
