摘要
低收入和中等收入国家的公共部门仍然缺乏熟练的供应链管理专业人员。此外,供应链劳动力缺乏新技术和市场所需的能力。年轻人可能是采购和供应链管理人力资源中尚未开发的资源。我们提供了3个用例,其中为贝宁、肯尼亚和南非的年轻SC专业人员创建了职业发展路径。在贝宁,在后勤人员专业团体L'Association des Logisticiens b ninois的倡导下,通过创建青年后勤人员专业人员计划等具体项目,创造了职业发展机会。SAPICS是南非SC管理的专业机构,一直为学生和年轻专业人士提供职业发展机会,为他们提供与主题专家、会议、实地考察、各种行业特定培训和交流机会,以及通过指导和指导计划进行一般的“就业准备”培训。在肯尼亚,“移动中的女孩”项目的重点是通过实习、技能培训和指导,将SC管理作为女孩的职业道路,所有这些都旨在使她们为成功的工作实习做好准备。2019冠状病毒病大流行凸显了可持续发展管理的至关重要性,凸显了需要加强应对和抵御能力的脆弱性。在后covid时代,公共SC部门必须建立一支灵活、熟练的劳动力队伍,能够满足当前需求并支持长期的大流行防范。这些案例展示了如何为年轻的专业人士提供培训、指导和工作经验的机会,并突出了这些举措的一些积极成果。这些案例还说明了为中低收入国家的青年发展职业道路的创新方法,旨在扩大熟练专业人员的数量,以加强公共SCs并提高其应对未来挑战的能力。
Creating a Career Development Path for Young Supply Chain Professionals: Three Case Studies in Benin, Kenya, and South Africa.
Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) continue to have a limited supply of skilled supply chain (SC) management professionals in the public sector. In addition, the SC workforce lacks the competencies demanded by new technologies and markets. Young people may be an untapped resource for the procurement and SC management workforce. We present 3 use cases in which career development paths were created for young SC professionals in Benin, Kenya, and South Africa. In Benin, with advocacy from L'Association des Logisticiens Béninois, the professional body of logisticians, career development opportunities were made through creating specific programs like the Young Logisticians Professionals Program. SAPICS, the professional body for SC management in South Africa, has been providing opportunities for career development by giving students and young professionals access to subject matter experts, conferences, site visits, and various industry-specific training and networking opportunities, as well as general "job readiness" training through coaching and mentorship programs. In Kenya, the Girls on the Move program focuses on introducing SC management as a career path to girls through internships, skills training, and mentorship, all aimed at equipping them for successful work placements. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical importance of SC management and highlighted vulnerabilities that demand greater responsiveness and resilience. In the post-COVID era, it is imperative for the public SC sector to build an agile and skilled workforce capable of addressing immediate needs and supporting long-term pandemic preparedness. The cases presented show how opportunities for training, mentorship, and work experience were made available to young professionals and highlight some of the positive outcomes of these initiatives. The cases also illustrate innovative approaches to developing career pathways for youth in LMICs that aim to expand the pool of skilled professionals who can strengthen public SCs and enhance their capacity to respond to future challenges.
期刊介绍:
Global Health: Science and Practice (GHSP) is a no-fee, open-access, peer-reviewed, online journal aimed to improve health practice, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Our goal is to reach those who design, implement, manage, evaluate, and otherwise support health programs. We are especially interested in advancing knowledge on practical program implementation issues, with information on what programs entail and how they are implemented. GHSP is currently indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, POPLINE, EBSCO, SCOPUS,. the Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index, and the USAID Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC).
