U.S. Roadmap for Material Handling & Logistics Workforce Summit to be held March 25-26 at ProMat

ProMat 2015 will feature a Supply Chain Workforce Summit on March 25 and 26 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The Summit will focus on how you can start now to develop your future workforce in material handling and logistics.  “Between now and 2018, there will be 1.4 million new jobs in logistics and supply chain. However, educational institutions can graduate only 30% of that workforce, says Daniel Stanton, MHI Vice President of Education and Professional Development. “Meanwhile, there is amazing turnover and change in the jobs and careers within the existing workforce. That requires people with many new skills and abilities just to keep pace with the increasing complexity of supply chains.” The Summit will include nine sessions over two days that will bring attendees up to speed on how to find, train and retain the right workforce. This is a chance to hear what leaders are doing already and how to adopt best practices. All Summit sessions are free to ProMat attendees by registering to attend at www.ProMatShow.com.  Summit Agenda March 25  2:15pm – 3:15pm Keynote Panel: Find, Train, Retain Your Workforce for 2025 Moderator – Bob Trebilcock, Supply Chain Management Review  Panel: Betsey Nohe, Morton Salt | Jeff LeClair, Caterpillar |John Caltagirone, Loyola’s Supply and Value Chain Center 3:30pm – 4:30pm Movers and Shakers Panel: Chicago Supply Chain Workforce of the Future Moderator – John Caltagirone, Loyola’s Supply and Value Chain Center Panel: Harry Haney, Kraft | Bill Seliger, R.
