One of the rapidly growing U.S.-based logistics companies, ITS Logistics and the University of Nevada, Reno, recently announced the Supply Chain & Transportation Management Program at The College of Business. ITS fully funded the new academic program, being committed to investing in the community and being present locally in Reno when the supply chain industry was experiencing historical growth and labor shortages.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics report from last year, there is a combined opening of 1.3 billion jobs in the manufacturing and transportation industries. Despite the challenges, logistics made the U.S. News' multilayered list of the Best Business Jobs for 2022 and was listed as the eighth number.
ITS will offer industry expertise in many areas, such as distribution, transportation, and technology, for the supply chain & transportation management curriculum. ITS Logistics independently funded the program, and an Executive Advisory Board ensures the program curriculum's alignment remains aligned with relevant industry topics.
The enrolled students would get internship opportunities at companies such as ITS Logistics, sessions from industry experts and visits to well-known logistics facilities. In addition, the industry experts, with their first-hand professional knowledge in the areas like big data analysis, operations, analytics, business development and marketing, will teach in the courses offered under the program.
