The Future of the Supply Chain Workforce

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

How can we best equip our workforce for future supply chain shocks?

Women in Supply Chain

As Australian businesses look to navigate the pandemic era, how can we shape our future workforce capabilities to be more resilient in an increasingly unstable trading environment?

In this fourth and final program in Asia Society Australia’s supply chain series, we bring together professionals from industry, government and academia to make the case for investing in people and an export capable workforce to ensure we meet the future, unforeseen challenges for exporters to Asia.

To avoid being left behind by rapidly developing and increasingly competitive international markets, our experts will assess the technological, IT and operational skills required to build a dynamic workforce across the international trade sector. Additionally, the panel will also assess future capacity, talent, Asia capabilities and how we can develop a greater diversity of manufacturers, logistics professionals and distributers across the export industry more broadly.

Join Asia Society Australia Supply Chain Fellow Hermione Parsons (Australian Logistics Council), along with Belinda Flynn (QUBE / The Wayfinder Network), Roberto Perez-Franco (GS1) to discuss how we can craft a future workforce ready to compete and withstand trade disruption.

Date: Tuesday 11 October 2022
Time: 10:30am – 11:30am - online
Public Registration link: https://invtdu.to/_x76l8

This program is presented in partnership with the Global Victoria Trade Alliance program
