Hello,
The National Center for Supply Chain
Technology Education (SCTE) is funded
by the National Science Foundation
to address the education of supply
chain technicians. We are asking you to
complete this brief nation-wide survey
that will help us understand employer
needs of supply chain technicians as
well as job functions, in-demand skills
and education requirements for these
employees.
It will only take you 5-7
minutes to complete this survey.
A supply chain technician
is a person
who installs, operates, supports upgrades
or maintains the software, hardware
or material handling equipment
which supports the supply chain.
NOTE: This survey is intended
for either those who provide
material handling technologies to
distribution centers or those who
manage distribution center staff
that work with these technologies.
If you are not one of the two, please
forward this survey to the relevant
person in your organization.

Once you have taken the survey we
ask that you forward it to others who
manage facilites in your supply chain
network, your industry collegues
and/or your supplier partners.
This is the first study of the size and
importance of supply chain technologies
industries and employment in the
U.S. The information you provide
will be utilized to develop skills-
based educational pathways, build
new curricula, guide professional
development for faculty, and develop
the high skilled employees your firm
will need in the future. Your input into
this study is valuable and appreciated.
Please note that all survey data will be
aggregated. Individual responses will
not be published, unless you explicitly
agree to it.
The final report will be
made available at the SCTE website
at
.
If you have any questions regarding
the survey, please contact:
