Preference will be given to graduates of programs accredited by the Council as part of its National Accreditation Program (NAP).

"Taming That Monster" Conference Presentations
The Joint Learning Initiative and its conference partners, the Bissett School of Business at Mount Royal College, The Van Horne Institute, the City of Calgary and the Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council, hoped, in planning the "Taming That Monster" conference, to create a sense of awareness and a sense of urgency, and to build the capacity of delegates to adapt to climate change and environmental pressures. By understanding the supply chains that affect us, either as individuals or as organizations, conference organizers believe that we may become more resilient to the changes ahead.
See the videos and PowerPoint presentations of conference speakers for a taste of this thought-provoking event.
