Logistics Technician
Program Overview
This Logistics Technician certificate program is a sequence of Logistics courses already being taught in the Logistics AS degree to prepare students for an entry level position with Logistics and Supply Chain Management organizations. The program would combine this specific course combination for an introduction to Supply Chain Management, Transportation, Warehousing Operations and Technology and Materials Management. The course combination has been reviewed and recommended by the local Logistics Advisory in the Fall of 2016 and the Spring of 2017 as an excellent preparation for entering the industry. A further initiative by the Distribution-Materials Management IFCC in concert with the TCSG is to incorporate the competencies for taking and successfully passing the CLA/CLT industry credentials for which Savannah Tech is a certified Manufacturing Skills Standards Council testing center.
