Learner goals and capabilities

MacEwan University is seeking to partner with organizations that have a need for global logistics management and supply chain expertise. This course will provide students with an opportunity to apply the different skills and knowledge they have learned throughout the Global Logistics Management Professional Development Certificate program, in a real-world setting .The sponsor also has the benefit of helping students learn more about their industry and Canadian workplace culture.

Working in pre-assigned teams, students will deliver a set of standard global logistic management deliverables, as well as specific deliverables outlined by the partner agency to help organizations deliver on their operational objectives. Teams will compete to deliver the best product for the same project. Several teams of 5 to 6 students will work on the project so the sponsor will receive multiple sets of recommendations.
