A Women’s History Month Recognition
CSCMP Talent Center Celebrates Michelle Williams - Leading the Way as a High School Supply Chain Teacher!
We recognize and celebrate the incredible pathway that Michelle is leading at the Clyde Miller Academy in St. Louis, Missouri. We say incredible because that is just what it is. CSCMP introduced the mission of the CSCMP Talent Center, our 501c3 nonprofit organization, to the Clyde Miller Academy. Through the leadership of then Talent Center lead, Cindy Mebruer, school administration quickly understood the Talent Center purpose to create the expanded supply chain workforce beginning with middle to high school supply chain course content and Supply Chain training to unique adult populations with untapped potential. All of this is made possible by our individual, corporate and university partners who fund the CSCMP Talent Center.
After receiving her MBA, Michelle accepted the call to teach Supply Chain education to the high school students of Clyde Miller Academy; a first among high schools. Collaborating with the school district’s CTE program and the Business School, CSCMP’s Talent Center funded and provided Michelle with CSCMP’s ScPro™ course content for use with all students.
“Can you imagine supply chain-specific courses can now be found in high school programs, providing a pathway to better and meaningful careers upon graduation? Whether a student of the program heads straight to the front-line workforce or attends college, they will graduate with real supply chain knowledge and certainly better prepared for supply chain roles,” Says Mark Baxa, CSCMP President and CEO.
To truly make a difference in accessible, knowledgeable supply chain talent we must go together. Nothing matters more. All high schools need this curriculum and staff just like Michelle to teach it. We now understand that many schools need support establishing their program, its content and steps to administer it. That’s where CSCMP and the Talent Center come in.
