EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION PROJECT – PHASE II

Phase II project completed in 2009

This Phase II project was based on the results of the Industry Research and Analysis Project (the Phase I Education/Certification project) completed in 2007 by the CSCSC, which resulted in the compilation of a compendium of Canadian supply chain programs and an expression of support for the Council to develop a standardized approach to post-secondary training, education and certification.
 
A consultation process with a broad group of representatives from the sector's associations and academia established:

• a set of standards outlining commonly understood and accepted education and training requirements in the sector; and
• a marketing plan to promote the standards and accreditation approach to the sector.

A voluntary submission process by learning-program providers (professional associations, post-secondary educational institutions and private providers of programs) to have their programs reviewed identified:

• those programs that meet the standards defined by industry stakeholders as crucial to the needs of the sector, and can thus be accredited by the CSCSC; and
• any gaps that exist in submitted programs in order that the institution can work with the sector to revise programs where required.

In addition, this project publicized the availability of education and training resources through the development of:

• a portal on the CSCSC website that will house the compendium of recognition tools and resources developed in the Phase I project;
• a feature on the compendium that recognizes those programs that have been accredited by the CSCSC; and
• a process to enable the annual updating of the compendium to ensure its ongoing relevance and currency.
