STUDENT BENEFITS

Supply Chain & Logistics Association Canada has a long history of supporting supply chain education through program development, accreditation and the Student Paper Competition.  In 2011, we revisited our student membership to make it more affordable and more relevant.

Today we are pleased to announce the following programs specifically geared to help students aiming for a supply chain career fund their education, broaden their knowledge and engage with the supply chain community.

Student Paper Award

***Please note this contest is not available for 2013

This is the chance to show the supply chain community what you have learned!  We are looking for an original paper on a supply chain & logistics topic.  There are regional prizes of $500 each and a grand national prize of $2,000 plus a free pass to the annual conference in Toronto.  This contest is open to supply chain students across Canada. All travel and accommodation will be covered for the award winner to attend the Supply Chain Canada conference in May.

Student Bursary – Two awards of $750 each

Each year SCL awards two bursaries of $750 each to students in full-time supply chain programs for the upcoming academic year September 2013 to Spring 2014.  If you are continuing your education, be sure to fill out an application.

2013 Student Case Competition - A Huge Success!

SCL in partnership with Exel, OIPMAC and Sheridan College would like to congratulate the winning teams of our 2nd Annual Student Case Competition. The one day event held February 23rd at Sheridan College – Hazel McCallion Campus, Mississauga drew college and university students from across Ontario. A record sixteen teams competed this year from Centennial, Conestoga, George Brown, Humber, McMaster, Seneca, Sheridan, Schulich School of Business, University of Toronto and Wilfrid Laurier.

Mayor Hazel McCallion opened the event with a short presentation discussing the importance of education and the unique role the supply chain industry plays for the future success of Ontario and Canada. The case this year provided by Exel in collaboration with SCL Toronto Chapter member Sam Lampropoulos from George Brown College, challenged competing students to create a solution for a real-life scenario involving the switch from a 3PL distribution system to an in-house system.  Students were asked to provide a solution that addressed key issues surrounding truck networking, warehousing and costing.
