Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council Information
The Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council brings together practitioners working in all areas and at all levels of the supply chain, academics, teachers and trainers, career counsellors, associations, and relevant government representatives to assess and address human-resource challenges in the sector. Together, the many volunteers from this wide range of groups are able to identify the sector's needs as they arise and deliver solutions that speak to those needs.

Human Resource-Focused Supply Chain Information
About 767,000 Canadians work in supply chain roles, as defined by the CSCSC. (Because the Canadian Trucking Human Resources Council exists to provide HR-related products and services to Canada's truck drivers, for example, drivers are not included in that figure and are not the focus of CSCSC services.)
Major HR Issues in the Supply Chain
A review of the CSCSC's monthly HR-trends surveys shows that the major recurring HR-related issues for Canadian supply chain employers relate to recruitment, retention and skills development.
