Starting a Logistics Love Affair

摘要

What is it about our profession that attracts smart, dedicated, hardworking young people who love logistics? I spent some time recently reviewing applications for the annual Inbound Logisfics/APICs scholarship, granted to an undergraduate pursuing a supply chain career. Applicants submit an essay describing why they want to enter the field, and what they hope to contribute. Anyone sweating over millennials' ability to fill the logistics talent gap can rest a little easier. Any one of the applicants could have won the scholarship. These students are intelligent, thoughtful, literate, and enthusiastic about our field.
