CALGARY– Ballad Group has announced their newest formal partnership with CITT to design and deliver an innovative integrated training program that directly responds to industry needs in Calgary, Alberta. The Fundamentals of Supply Chain Logistics (FSCL) program will focus on preparing participants for meaningful employment in the rapidly changing supply chain sector. Over two years, 96 unemployed Albertans will have the opportunity to participate in a 12-week in-class training program and complete a 4-week work placement with one of Ballad’s industry partners.
This unique learning experience ensures program participants are job-market ready. Graduates of Ballad’s Fundamentals of Supply Chain Logistics program earn the Canadian Transportation & Logistics Fundamentals MicroCredential and two credits (Logistics Processes and Transportation Systems) towards the CITT-Certified Logistics Professional (CCLP) designation.
“CITT is very excited about partnering with Ballad in this new micro-credential. The opportunities to fuel job growth and nurture the logistics sector in Alberta are enormous; Ballad is well-positioned to deliver this credential in ways that make positive changes in Alberta communities and build industry. We look forward to working with Ballad to realize both of our organizational mandates.”
