EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Institution: Miami Dade College School of Business Degree Type: Bachelor of Applied Science Degree Title: Supply Chain Management INTRODUCTION Miami Dade College (MDC) School of Business proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science with a major in Supply Chain Management (BAS-SCM). This proposed degree program serves a critical need in preparing students to enter the workforce of this dynamic and growing industry. The proposed BAS-SCM consists of 120 credit hours, including 36 credits of General Education, and will be offered by MDC to serve students in Workforce Region 23 and primarily Miami-Dade County. The proposed BAS-SCM program is designed to prepare students to immediately enter the workforce with the occupational titles of Aircraft Cargo Handling Supervisors, Business Operations Specialists, Logisticians, General and Operations Managers, Purchasing Managers, Operations Research Analysts, Management Analysts, and Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers. According to Workforce One, a leader in employment solutions in the state of Florida, the economic impact that this industry has on the market place is exponential as indicated in a Workforce One Spotlight which referenced a July 2009 Florida Chamber of Commerce study on the Trade and Logistics industry:

“…the Trade and Logistics industry indicates a potential of 143,000 jobs, $21.5 billion in business sales, $7.9 billion in personal income and $723 million in tax revenues over the next 10 years in Florida. The study illustrates that this outcome would transform Florida’s economy, adding world class strengths in trade, logistics and advanced manufacturing to the state’s traditional focus in agriculture, tourism, and construction.”1

In May 2012, the Beacon Council (Miami-Dade County's official economic development partnership), in support of the One Community One Goal2 project, also identified Trade and Logistics as one of seven targeted industries for exponential economic growth in Miami-Dade County and identified a critical void of trained professionals in Miami-Dade County for this field.

A. PLANNING PROCESS The College began exploring the development of a baccalaureate degree in January 2012 and a planning committee comprised of interdisciplinary administrators worked with MDC faculty and local industry members to assess the need for a workforce in the field of supply chain management and logistics (Appendices A, Pg. 33 & B, Pg. 34). The committee conducted student and industry surveys (Appendices C,

Pg. 43 & D, Pg. 47); examined national, state, and local workforce data; analyzed the region’s academic logistics and supply chain management programs; reviewed existing Florida College System supply chain management baccalaureate degrees; discussed the proposed BAS-SCM with Workforce Region 23 state and private universities (Appendix E, Pg. 51); evaluated available MDC resources, facilities, and equipment; and elicited recommendations from external stakeholders, including local industry leaders and state and local government (Appendices D, Pg. 47; F, Pg. 52; I, Pg. 67). Based on the findings, the proposed program was approved by the Board of Trustees and submitted to the Florida Department of Education (Appendix K, Pg. 87). To date, MDC has received 14 letters of support from local industry

leaders, workforce development agencies and economic development councils and other stakeholders, including Barry University (Appendix J-12, Pg. 83). MDC administrators corresponded with Barry University, St. Thomas University, University of Miami, Florida International University, and Florida Memorial University, which resulted in verbal support from the University of Miami and St. Thomas University and a written letter of support from Barry University. Additionally, these institutions expressed interest in collaborating by welcoming MDC graduates into applicable master’s degree programs at their institutions. Florida Memorial University was supportive of the program but did not see an area for collaboration at the time of the meeting. Florida International University was neutral (Appendix E, Pg. 51). However, Florida Atlantic University (FAU) submitted a letter of objection May 10, 2013. Miami Dade College sent a written response to address the concerns (Appendix K, Pg. 87).

B. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE The BAS-SCM curriculum was developed with the guidance from the business and industry partners and full time faculty. During spring of 2014 (2013-2), recruitment efforts, training of advisors and student support systems will take place, and the hiring of full-time and part-time faculty will commence. The proposed program will begin in August 2014.

C. WORKFORCE DEMAND/UNMET NEED SPECIFIC TO PROGRAM AREAS Using the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Labor Market Statistics (January 20133), the projected number of jobs in the supply chain management field is 160,312 by the year 2020 in Workforce Region 23, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. Included in this number are positions in Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Management; Purchasing Management; General and Operations Management; Logisticians; Management Analysts; Business Operations Specialists; and Operations Research Analysts. Of the 160,312 jobs in Workforce Region 23, 4,839 are attributed to growth the average annual openings are 4,839. One of Miami-Dade County’s most recognized assets is its location to trading partners and its recognized role as a conduit for the development of multi-national trade between the United States and Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. This long-standing position as an international trade center promotes growth in the job opportunities for a wide variety of workers from logisticians and transportation systems managers to warehouse operators, importers, and exporters. The proposed MDC BAS-SCM degree program (CIP Code 52.0203) and related CIP Code 52.04094 are not offered by any SUS or non-public institution in Region 23. Consequently, there are no graduates to meet Region 23 workforce demands and MDC will be instrumental in providing trained graduates to fill the 4,8395 job openings projected for 2012-2020.

D. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Equipment requirements will include: furniture for flexible grouping, state-of-the-art technology, simulation software or platform, and teaching materials. Initially, this will be done at Kendall Campus and will need to be expanded and modified as the program grows to include additional campuses. The

Capital Outlay (Information Technology Equipment and Other Equipment) for implementation would be $105,000zero dollars for the first year(2013-2014), $70,000105,000 for the second year(2014-2015), and $32,57370,000 for the third year(2015-2016), and $22,50032,573 for the fourth year(2016-2017), and $22,500 for 2017-2018. These funds will support required technologies and equipment and will outfit existing (classroom) facilities on Kendall Campus.

E. LIBRARY/MEDIA In order to serve students who enter this program, MDC’s School of Business needs to expand its library holdings to include more resources including books, journals, and videos, on such topics as: supply chain risk management, operations, logistics, economics, regulatory issues, change management, forecasting, resource allocation, production planning, inventory management, total quality management, project management, customer delivery, after-sales support and service. To meet this need, a total of $129,450 of resources is budgeted for 2013-2018 to expand the existing library holdings.

F. ACADEMIC RESOURCES

To ensure that the full-time to part-time instructional ratio is within institutional policy, MDC expects to hire one full-time doctorally-prepared faculty member during the academic year 2015-2016 and one additional doctorally-prepared full-time faculty during the 2016-2017 academic year. The cost of one full-time faculty member plus benefits is approximately $61,373. In addition to the two full-time faculty, it is proposed that two part-time faculty (1 FTE) will be hired in 2014-2015, two additional part-time faculty (four total/2 FTE) will be hired in 2015-2016, and in 2016-2017 we will retain two part-time faculty (1 FTE), By 2017-2018, we anticipate operating the program with two full-time faculty and one additional part-time faculty (three total/1.5 FTE).

G. COST TO STUDENTS The student cost of the four-year program is projected to be $14,231.55 (special fees not included).

H. ACADEMIC CONTENT AND CURRICULUM

MDC is requesting the development of a Track 2 option for CIP 52.0203 to accommodate the proposed common prerequisite option. The proposed BAS-SCM requires students to complete completion of an Associate in Arts (AA) or an Associate in Science (AS) degree in Transportation and Logistics or a business related field with a minimum of 15 General Education transferable college credit hours or an Associate of Arts (AA) from a regionally accredited college or university, or 60 credit hours with 36 General Education transferable college credit hours from a regionally accredited institution with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above and with a minimum of 15 General Education transferable college credit hours. Students will also be required to complete 23 credit hours of lower division prerequisites with a grade of “C” or higher before being allowed to begin the upper division program content.

The proposed BAS-SCM (CIP Code 52.0203) is a 120-credit hour degree program. The upper division program will be designed in a full-time cohort format and a schedule for part-time students (6-9 credit hours per semester) will also be available in addition to on-line course options (Note: 26.64% (n=57) students surveyed, indicated interest in on-line/blended courses (Appendix C #12, Pg. 43).

I. ENROLLMENT, PERFORMANCE AND BUDGET PLAN The program is expected to enroll full-time and part-time cohorts. In 2014-2015 the program will enroll a total of 40 students generating 720 credit hours. During 2015-2016, 70 students (full-time and two part-time cohorts, allowing for 25% attrition) will generate 1,260 credit hours, in 2016-2017, 140 students are expected to generate 2,520 credit hours, and in 2017-2018, 200 students are expected to generate 3,600 credit hours (Appendix L, Pg. 98). The first graduating class of 24 students is projected for spring 2015 (includes 25% attrition). The projected budget plan (Appendix L, Pg. 98) indicates $12,000 total expenditures for 2013-2014, increasing to $396,951 by 2017-2018 and it is projected that the BAS-SCM will be self-supporting by 2016-2017.

J. PLAN OF ACTION IF PROGRAM MUST BE TERMINATED As mandated by the State Board of Education, Miami Dade College will demonstrate diligence to individual needs in the event of program termination and will enact an approved degree completion plan to enable eligible students to complete the appropriate BAS-SCM degree program coursework following the termination decision (Appendix N, Pg. 100). The BAS-SCM program will accept no new students and will provide transition services, including a transition educational plan outlining coursework and program options for completion and will ensure that the program will remain open and provide “teach-out” options available in both the traditional classroom setting as well as online through MDC Virtual College to allow eligible students to complete graduation requirements within two academic years. In addition, the MDC School of Business will work to create transition plans for students who may elect to transfer to MDC’s existing Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervision and Management program or work closely with other upper-division, higher education providers to transition students seamlessly to similar programs. The plan will be comprised of courses based on an individual student review, with extensive and personalized transfer and advising assistance. Using the MDC student/staff email service and direct mailings, individuals will be contacted and offered assistance with the termination process options.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

A. PLANNING PROCESS

1. Internal Process and Meetings Miami Dade College (MDC) School of Business is proposing a Bachelor of Applied Science with a major in Supply Chain Management (BAS-SCM) degree program. In support of the growing logistics industry in Miami Dade County6, an administrative team, including the College Provost, MDC Campus Presidents, Deans, and Discipline Department Chairpersons, met in January 2012 to examine the need and determine the viability of offering degrees in supply chain management, logistics, and transportation. The internal assessment process began with discussions to explore questions pertaining to, or affecting, the need for an educated workforce in the field (Appendix A, Pg. 33). Based on this early assessment MDC decided to develop an Associate in Science in Transportation and Logistics (AS-TL) and a Bachelor of Applied Science with a major in Supply Chain Management (BAS-SCM). The AS-TL, (submitted to the Florida Department of Education on March 20, 2012) was designed to be a lower division feeder program to the proposed BAS-SCM degree program. Following the initial discussions, a subcommittee of interdisciplinary administrators, including the Executive Dean of Workforce Education, Dean of Academic and Student Affairs at the MDC Homestead Campus, Director of the School of Aviation, Associate Dean of the School of Business and School of Business Department Chairpersons, was created to obtain data from employer and student surveys, the national and local workforce, and institutions of higher education (Appendices B, Pg. 34; C, Pg. 43; D, Pg.

47; E, Pg. 51; F, Pg. 52; I, Pg. 68) The committee’s responsibilities were to plan the process of developing the proposal for the new AS and BAS degrees, work with faculty to design an interdisciplinary curriculum that addressed Workforce Region 23 needs and allowed for balance, continuity, scope, and articulation to upper division programs, and to research the region’s other academic offerings in the field of supply chain management. As noted in Appendix B, Pg. 34 planning committee members met regularly to develop the program, review changes, and make revisions to the proposal. Student Surveys (Appendix C, Pg. 43) indicated that 148 of 213 respondents (69.48%) who are currently enrolled at Miami Dade College would pursue a BAS-SCM degree after completing their associate or certificate level of study. In the internal planning process, the committee:

Elicited input from local industry leaders, state and local government offices, faculty, and institutions of higher education in Workforce Region 23, as well as other stakeholders (Appendices D, Pg. 47; E, Pg. 51; F, Pg. 52; I, Pg. 67).

Examined National, State, and Local Workforce data and obtained independent research (Appendix G, Pg. 60) to assess need for workforce programs in the field of supply chain management. 7-8-9

Evaluated current resources, facilities, and equipment.

Designed the BAS-SCM degree program (Appendix O, Pg. 103).

Reviewed existing supply chain management baccalaureate degrees to determine program of study and degree alignment (e.g., Broward College’s BAS in Supply Chain Management and University of North Florida’s BS in Transportation Management).

Based on the data acquired from the Student Survey (Appendix C, Pg. 43), Employer Survey (Appendix D,

Pg. 47), and Advisory Committees (Appendix F, Pg. 52), MDC’s proposed BAS-SCM was created as a direct response to:

The critical need expressed by local industry leaders for employees who are prepared to enter the workforce with appropriate skills.

Employers’ need for local, qualified candidates with backgrounds in the field of supply chain management.

Career ladder options for graduates in existing AA, AS Transportation and Logistics, or business related fields.

The need for low cost, workforce-driven baccalaureate degree options in the field of supply chain management in Workforce Region 23.

The Letter of Intent was presented to MDC’s Academic Leadership Council (ALC), the College Academic and Student Support Council (CASSC), and MDC’s Board of Trustees. Following unanimous support of the initial proposal documents, a multi-disciplinary team of faculty and administrators was developed to create the proposed curriculum. The multidisciplinary team developed a curriculum that 1) focuses on developing broad-based operations, communication, and management skills necessary for students to obtain immediate in-field employment, and 2) provides a strong foundation of skill-sets and knowledge for continued progression on the educational ladder. The final proposal, in its entirety, received approval by the MDC School of Business faculty, administration, college-wide curriculum committee, and Board of Trustees. The proposed MDC BAS-SCM degree was designed to:

Enhance and complete the career pathway for Miami-Dade County Public School (M-DCPS) students studying in the new Logistic Academy (Appendices H, Pg. 65 & I, Pg. 67).

Provide transition and articulation for Associate in Science in Transportation and Logistics, or business related fields and Associate in Arts graduates to achieve a four-year degree that will support higher paying careers.

Respond to workforce needs.

Respond to unmet need within Workforce Region 23.

Provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and skills-sets for continued progression on the educational ladder.

2. External Process and Meetings

Based on feedback from local industry leaders, an administrative team, including the District Provost, MDC Campus Presidents, Deans, and Discipline Department Chairpersons, was formed in spring 2012 to conduct an external needs assessment and determine the viability of offering a BAS-SCM. The planning committee established a subcommittee, which included multi-disciplinary faculty, that met regularly to develop the program, review changes, and make revisions to the proposal (Appendix B, Pg. 34).

Commented [CJ6]: FLDOE is asking: Section 1 – Typo, add “s” to field. MDC response: Corrected Typo – “fields”

Page 10 of 127

During the external planning process, the sub-committee:

Conducted industry and student surveys (Appendices C, Pg. 43 & D, Pg. 47).

Elicited input from local industry leaders, state and local government offices, as well as other stakeholders (Appendix F, Pg. 52).

Evaluated similar programs being offered at FSC institutions, and engaged in conversations with Workforce Region 23 universities to access assess need, demand, and impact (Appendices A, Pg. 33; B, Pg. 34; C, Pg. 43; D, Pg. 47; E, Pg. 51; F, Pg. 52; G, Pg. 60; H, Pg. 66 & I, Pg.

67).

Although no institutions of higher education in Region 23 offer a baccalaureate degree in supply chain management or a related field, MDC engaged in conversations regarding the proposed BAS-SCM with state and private universities within Region 23. The conversations centered on need, demand, impact of the proposed program, and plans to establish articulation agreements with the universities for graduates of the proposed MDC BAS-SCM program to enter graduate-level programs (Appendix E, Pg. 51). St. Thomas University: In October 2012, Ms. Thania Rios, Associate Dean, School of Business, Miami Dade College (MDC) met with James Bussey, Associate Dean, School of Business, St. Thomas University, regarding MDC’s intention to offer the BAS-SCM and the possibility of collaborating and articulating to graduate programs in the future. He was supportive of the initiative. Subsequently, on January 23, 2013, Ms. Rios and Dr. Jeffery Thomas, Academic and Student Dean, MDC Homestead Campus, met with Dr. Antonio Villamil, Dean at St. Thomas’ School of Business, to discuss the partnership and development of an articulation agreement into their professional degree program for the proposed MDC BAS-SCM graduates. Dr. Villamil was very supportive of an articulation initiative. Florida Memorial University: On October 29, 2012, Ms. Rios spoke with Dr. Enterassi, Dean of the School of Business. Dr. Enterassi was supportive of MDC’s initiative to offer the BAS-SCM, but did not feel that it was the right fit to collaborate/articulate with their Master’s degree. University of Miami: On November 9, 2012, Ms. Rios and Dr. Thomas (MDC) attended a meeting at the University of Miami with Dr. Eugene Anderson, Dean, UM School of Business Administration, and shared MDC's intention to offer the BAS-SCM and the possibility of collaborating and articulating to graduate programs in the future. Dean Anderson was supportive. Florida International University: On November 16, 2012, Ms. Rios and Dr. Ana Cruz, MDC Wolfson Campus School of Business Chairperson, met with Dr. Gloria Deckard, Associate Dean, School of Business at FIU. The parties had a discussion regarding MDC's intention to offer the BAS-SCM and the possibility of collaborating and articulating to graduate programs in the future. Dr. Deckard took notes regarding the information and her response was neutral. Barry University: On December 7, 2012, Ms. Rios (MDC) met with Dr. Tomislav Mandokovic, Dean, School of Business at Barry University, regarding MDC's intention to offer the BAS-SCM and the possibility of collaborating and articulating to graduate programs in the future. He was supportive of the program and provided a letter of support, which was received December 14, 2012 (Appendix J-12, Pg. 83). Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS): On October 23, 2012, Miami Dade College administrators, Candice Hunter, Chairperson, School of Business, Dr. Jorge Guerra, InterAmerican Campus President, and Diana Lewis, Director for School of Aviation, met with Principal Gregory Bethune of Miami Central High School, Mr. Henri Cepero and Ronda Mims of M-DCPS Career Academy to discuss

their plans of creating a logistics and supply chain academy. Miami Central High School would serve as a feeder program to MDC’s AS-TL. Miami Central High School and the Career Academy are planning on partnering with MDC in an articulation agreement to our Associate in Science in Transportation and Logistics degree (Appendices H, Pg. 65 & I, Pg. 67). The conversations with St. Thomas University, Florida Memorial University, University of Miami, Florida International University, and Barry University leadership (Appendix E, Pg. 51) revealed that none of these institutions offer SCM baccalaureate degrees; many of the institutions are interested in MDC’s potential graduates as possible students for their master’s, specialist’s, and doctoral programs, and the proposed MDC BAS-SCM program would fill an educational gap and professionalize SCM in Region 23. As noted in Appendix J, Pg. 69. MDC received letters of support from 14 organizations. MDC also received a letter of support from Barry University and verbal support from FMU, UM, and STU. As of May 6, 2013, MDC received information from the Florida Department of Education, Division of Florida Colleges, that no SUS institution submitted an alternative proposal for the proposed MDC BAS-SCM degree. However, Florida Atlantic University (FAU), a Region 22 institution, submitted a letter of objection May 10, 2013, and Miami Dade College sent a written response to address the concerns (Appendix K, Pg. 87). As of June 5, 2013August 2013, MDC has received no response from FAU and no alternative proposals from ICUF or CIE institutions. Following these meetings, all materials were submitted through the MDC curriculum process based on the documentation, data, and need. The MDC Board of Trustees approved the proposed MDC BAS-SCM Letter of Intent at its February 19th, 2013, meeting and the proposed program at its June 18th, 2013, meeting (Appendix K, Pg. 87).

C. WORKFORCE DEMAND/UNMET NEED SPECIFIC TO PROGRAM AREA

1. Geographic region to be served Workforce Region 23 Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties

2. Number of current jobs and 3. Number of Current Job Openings:

As noted in Table 2: Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Labor Market Statistics Center, the number of current jobs in Workforce Region 23 for 2012 is 148,577 and the average annual openings are 4,839 10. Table 2: Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Labor Market Statistics Center

4. Projected number of job openings five years from current year:

As noted in Table 2: Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Labor Market Statistics Center, occupational job employment through 2020 is projected to be 160,312 for Workforce Region 23, with openings of 24,195 in the next five years (4,839 average annual openings) .

5. Number of most graduates in the discipline area from the State University System, by institution(s) in the geographic region specified in the application Degrees Awarded by State University System

a. Degrees awarded by State University System Institutions No SUS institutions offer the BAS-SCM; consequently, there are no graduates in Region 23.11

6. Number of most recent graduates in the discipline area from nonpublic postsecondary institutions in geographic region (if available), by institution:

The Institute of Education Sciences provides data for Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services through its College Navigator tool. Based upon the College Navigator results, Florida Memorial University (FMU), St. Thomas University (STU), Barry University, and the University of Miami (UM) do not have a program with CIP code 52.020312. Therefore, there were no recent CIP 52.0203 graduates from nonpublic higher education institutions in Workforce Region 23. 7. Data and a one-paragraph description of the employment gap based on 2 through 6 Based upon the workforce data reported from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), in addition to the lack of graduates in the discipline area for Workforce Region 23, the current employment gap is 4,839 average annual openings. This yields a five-year employment gap projection of 24,195 jobs. According to an independent report conducted by Carras Community Investment Inc., (Appendix G, Pg. 61), national, state, and local attention is on SCM, “The Logistics and Distribution industry – a primary sector within Supply Chain Management – is among the primary industries targeted for job growth and investment in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties and across the state of Florida. If the industry grows as economic developers predict, so will the workforce demand for skilled jobs increase.” Many professional organizations/governmental entities cite a significant growth in this sector. As noted in Table 3, MDC utilized the DEO, as it best represents the job opportunities for the BAS-SCM. For instance, Cargo and Freight Agents are among the 20 fastest growing occupations in South Florida that pay more than $15 an hour. This occupation is expected to grow at an annual rate of 3.78 percent from 2013 to 2018, according to the DEO. According to DEO’s Labor Market Statistics Center, transportation and material moving occupations will grow statewide from 430,687 jobs to 471,889 jobs, an increase of 41,202 or 9.6 percent by 2020. For example as noted in Table 3, logisticians, a major occupational title within the supply chain management field is listed as one of the top 10 fastest growing occupations in the Florida with an annual state-wide growth rate of 3.34%.13 Table 3: Jobs Growing in Florida

Commented [CJ10]: FLDOE is asking: The Carras employment data included in this report on page 65 is very different from the numbers reported on page 15, also from the DEO. Please verify. MDC response: Statement clarified.

One of Miami-Dade County’s most recognized assets is its location to trading partners and its recognized role as a conduit for the development of multi-national trade between the United States and Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. That long-standing position as an international trade center implies growth in the job opportunities for a wide variety of workers from logisticians and transportation systems managers to warehouse operators, importers and exporters. Responses from the “Supply Chain Management – Student Interest Survey Report” administered on October 25, 2012, via the internet to current MDC students and alumni indicated positive support for the BAS-SCM program. Students and alumni were asked in Question #9, “Would you be interested in pursuing a Bachelor’s of Applied Science (BAS) in Supply Chain Management if Miami Dade offered one?” 69.48% (148 of 213 responses) students responded, “Yes” (Appendix C, Pg. 43). Further, in response to Question #11, “Would you like more information about obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management at Miami Dade College?” 79.07% (170 of 215 responses) indicated “Yes.” Further supporting the need for the development of this degree are the employer responses to the “Employer Interest Survey” question number #2, #7, and #8 (Appendix D, Pg. 47). The survey was administered during the annual meeting/conference for the American Society of Transportation and Logistics (AST&L), held in Jacksonville October 28 – 30, 2012. The responses to the questions indicate a strong need for the development of the BAS-SCM degree as follows:

Question #2: How many people are employed by your company – 10 of the 16 (63%) respondents have employees of 501 or more, and 9 (56%) have been in business for more than 31 years.

Question # 7: Is there a gap between the number of available positions and the pool of skilled workers at your organization – 10 of 14 responses (71%) answered “Yes”.

Question #8: Would a Bachelor’s of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Supply Chain Management influence career growth at your organization? - 12 of 15 (80%) responses were “Yes”.

8. Other measures as selected by institutions, which may include brief qualitative or quantitative data/information such as local economic development initiatives or evidence of rapid growth or decline not reflected in local, state, and national data.

The One Community One Goal Target Industry Strategies 14report (May 1, 2012) is a comprehensive roadmap for Miami’s future economic development. The report provides strategic recommendations aimed at growing jobs and creating long-term sustainable economic prosperity in Miami Dade County. Although not designed around the Florida Chamber’s Florida Six Pillars,15 the seven targeted growth industries cited in the One Community One Goal Target Industry Strategies report coincides with the Chamber’s recommendations. One of the identified targeted industries is Trade and Logistics (Page 16).16 Within this industry, the following strategies were highlighted as growth opportunities: TRADE & LOGISTICS • Continue to foster a strong Trade & Logistics workforce in Miami Dade County. • Improve intermodal transportation capacity and connectivity. • Increase the availability of distribution facility spaces.

• Continue investing in Port Miami infrastructure to further increase competitiveness for post Panama traffic. • Continue to work with South Florida seaports and airports to expand geographic coverage. • Increase funding for regional transportation infrastructure improvements. • Create a business climate that continues to encourage the growth of Trade & Logistics companies. • Promote and expand Trade & Logistics companies in Miami Dade County. One of the major infrastructure changes in Region 23 is the deepening of Miami’s channel for passage of the Panama Canal traffic. The Port of Miami reports that the “The deepening of the canal will create 33,000 new jobs, double cargo throughput, and increase PortMiami’s annual economic impact to more than $34 billion."17 The work for this project began in the Summer of 2013 and is scheduled to be completed in late 2014. According to PortMiami’s website, the PortMiami will be the only US port south of Norfolk, VA., that will be able to accommodate the mega cargo vessels that will pass through the Panama Canal Expansion, which is scheduled to open in 201518. As such, Miami Dade College is collaborating with the American Society of Transportation and Logistics of Jacksonville, the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, South Florida Roundtable, Miami International Airport and Miami Seaport (Port of Miami) to leverage resources in support of the expansion of Florida’s pipeline in the International Trade and Logistics industry. Moreover, offering a BAS-SCM will prepare professionals to meet the employment gap for an expanding industrial sector in Florida.

D. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT SPECIFIC TO PROGRAM AREA

1. Provide a brief description of the existing facilities and equipment that will be utilized for the program.

The proposed BAS-SCM program will share the facilities, classrooms, and equipment currently utilized at various MDC campuses. For the existing business coursework (associate level), the School of Business has designated classrooms at Homestead Campus, Kendall Campus, and the MDC - Miami International Airport Campus which will be shared during the first year of the upper division program. Existing designated classrooms are currently equipped with furniture, SmartBoards, projectors, and other teaching materials. Coordination of the schedules will be carefully designed to avoid conflicts with current programs while growing the BAS-SCM program. College-wide, there are fully-staffed, discipline-specific labs in English, mathematics, reading, and foreign languages. Further, the School of Business at Kendall Campus, in which the program is housed, will require use of an existing classroom with flexible seating to be used as a learning resource center specifically designed for the BAS-SCM collaborative learning pedagogy. MDC anticipates the use of 2 classroom spaces for the BAS-SCM degree at its inception. 2. Provide a brief description of the new facilities and equipment that will be needed for the

program, if any. As the degree program expands, labs will need to be equipped with tutorial software and materials that support academic coursework in supply chain management, logistics and transportation. Simulation

software will provide students with practical experience and real-life scenarios that will be directly applicable to the workplace. In addition to the simulation software, information technology equipment will be needed. The budget allocation of $160,000 will be used for the acquisition of thirty (30) computer stations and supporting memory, purchase of iPads (or similar mobile tablets), and a printer. The mobile devices will be used in Operation Management, Production Information Systems, Field Study and Research, Purchasing and Inventory Management, Warehouse Management, and Supply Chain Management Theory and Methodology. The new stationary computers will be housed in one of the 2 classrooms on Kendall Campus dedicated to the program for the priority use of the BAS-SCM students. Flexible furniture, designed for group collaboration, will be purchased for a designated classroom. While there are capital outlay expenses, no funds have been allocated for new facilities or renovations, as MDC has existing facilities outfitted for this program. E. LIBRARY/MEDIA SPECIFIC TO PROGRAM AREA

1. Provide a brief description of the existing library/media resources that will be utilized for the program.

The MDC School of Business BAS-SCM development team worked with the MDC Learning Resources leadership regarding resources for supply chain management currently in print and electronic book collections. MDC currently subscribes to a large number of databases that contain business journals which are relevant to both two- and four-year business related degree programs, but as noted below, additional resources are needed.

2. Provide a brief description of the new library/media resources that will be needed for the program, if any.

Library Resources- To support the proposed baccalaureate degree program requirements, it will be

necessary to acquire approximately 5,000 new titles and additional databases to meet the needs of

students and faculty. This collection will cost approximately $129,450 over 5 years (2013-2018)

(Appendix L, Pg. 98).

The MDC School of Business developed a listing of Library Resources for the proposed upper division BAS-SCM program. A first year sample list, including title, author, and cost for journals, books, and library resource technology is included in Appendix M, Pg. 99. Table 4. Library Resources

Page 28 of 127

Operating Expenses: 1. Academic Administration: For 2013-2014, a Faculty stipend of $4,000 is allocated for curriculum

development. A part-time program coordinator/specialist will be hired in 2014 to assist with the areas of administrative program management, institutional research, outreach and recruitment, advising, and prior learning assessment, increasing to a full-time position by 2015-2016 ($72,952).

2. Materials/Supplies: Marketing related expenses, including promotional materials and participation in industry events, and administrative supplies to support the functional operation of the program are projected for a yearly average of $6,750.

3. Travel: Travel funds ($3,000 per year) are budgeted for outreach and professional development activities at industry conferences and events for faculty and program administrators.

4. Communication/Technology: Funds ($14,000 2014-2018) are budgeted for telecommunication devices for faculty and staff offices and classrooms.

5. Library Support: Existing resources will be utilized; no additional funds have been allocated. 6. Student Support Services: Critical to the student support services are advisors and tutors. These

part-time advisors/tutors will assist students with the preparation of individual education plans, course sequencing, and the completion of courses, certificates, and/or degrees. Projected until 2018, a total of six part-time advisors/tutors have been budgeted, with salaries commensurate with educational credentials.

7. Professional Services: Professional services are budgeted from 2013-2018 ($68,000) for support of the program and students including, but not limited to, oversight of the faculty recruitment, staffing, course, and schedule preparation, and identification of instructional aids, training requirements, and other resources. In addition, these services will be of assistance in the development of the online curriculum.

8. Accreditation: No funds have been allocated for the BAS-SCM program. 9. Support Services: Access to a research associate through support services (yearly average cost

$18,172.50) will be needed to track the progress of students and programs and provide critical assessments to the faculty, administrative staff and the institution and will track alumni as they enter/re-enter the workplace.

Capital Outlay

1. Library Resources: Library resources to support the proposed baccalaureate degree program are projected at a total cost of $129,450 through 2017-2018. It is necessary to acquire approximately 5,000 new titles and additional databases to meet the needs of students and faculty, as this program is new to the College.

2. Information Technology Equipment: Simulation software and information technology equipment will be necessary for specific courses throughout the designed curriculum. The budget allocation of $160,000 will be used for the acquisition of thirty (30) computer stations and supporting memory, purchase of iPads (or similar mobile tablets), and a printer. The mobile devices will be used in Operation Management, Production Information Systems, Field Study and Research, Purchasing and Inventory Management, Warehouse Management, and Special Topics in Supply Chain Management.

3. Other Equipment: The new stationary computers will be housed in one of the 2 classrooms dedicated to the program or laboratory facility for the priority use of the BAS-SCM students. Furniture and additional equipment for successful use of the purchased technology will be necessary and MDC anticipate the purchase of other equipment required for instruction in the amount of ($70,073).



Page 29 of 127

4. Facilities/Renovation: Existing facilities will be utilized and funds have been allocated for the BAS-SCM program.

Based upon the projected enrollment the BAS-SCM is projected to be self-sustaining by 2016-2017.

3. The last paragraph of this section must include a statement on how the college will fund the program if it is not provided funding by the Legislature, and how that would impact the college’s implementation plan. Explain how the college will fund the program if funds are not granted.

If the program is not funded by the Legislature, MDC is committed to providing funding via contributions from the MDC Foundation and other private resources. The remaining program funding source will be provided by student fees, projected to increase by 5 percent per credit annually. Additionally, the School of Business will seek external grant funding and other sources of revenue available to the College. These grants will serve to provide students with the latest technology and resources for educational programs in supply chain management.

J. PLAN OF ACTION IF PROGRAM MUST BE TERMINATED

Summary of train-out alternatives for students. As mandated by the State Board of Education, Miami Dade College will demonstrate diligence to individual needs in the event of program termination and will enact an approved degree completion plan to enable eligible students to complete the appropriate BAS-SCM degree program coursework following the termination decision. The BAS-SCM program will accept no new students and will provide transition services, including a transition educational plan outlining coursework and program options for completion and will ensure that the program will remain open and provide “teach-out” options available in both the traditional classroom setting as well as online through MDC Virtual College to allow eligible students to complete graduation requirements within two academic years. In addition, the MDC School of Business will work to create transition plans for students who may elect to transfer to MDC’s existing Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervision and Management program or work closely with other upper-division, higher education providers to transition students seamlessly to similar programs. The plan will be comprised of courses based on an individual student review, with extensive and personalized transfer and advising assistance. Using the MDC student/staff email service and direct mailings, individuals will be contacted and offered assistance with the termination process options. MDC will maintain transcripts of BAS-SCM students and program graduates in accordance with MDC policies and procedures and will maintain and archive the BAS-SCM course descriptions and representative course syllabi. Every effort to serve the interests of affected students will be observed in the event of program termination. Miami Dade College will adhere to the stipulations as mandated by the State Board of Education regarding its monitoring of the program implementation through annual reviews. All educational programs at MDC are reviewed on a five-year cycle (Appendix N, Pg. 100) and follow established operational procedures for college-wide evaluation.

K. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS

Include a listing (one page index) of materials showing evidence of need and demand discussions and coordination with postsecondary institutions. Include these materials in the supplemental materials. For example, documents may include meeting minutes, other records of collaboration, letters of support, etc. Include all survey instruments, tables and graphs as appropriate, etc. Links may also be included as appropriate to your documentation. Supplement materials are included in the appendices.

Commented [CJ28]: FLDOE is asking: Since the Legislature no longer provides funding for baccalaureate programs, please rewrite this sentence emphasizing other funding sources to assist implementation of this program. MDC response: Sentence has been clarified.

13. Additional Comments You need a Bachelors in Business Administration with emphasis in Marketing that way I would have to change schools

Fantastic we need more options in bachelors degrees. Hope one day Miami Dade College become an University.

Online or weeknight classes

I am interested in finding out some information on the program, though I am not committed to the idea just yet.

Page 46 of 127

I am a Marine veteran and I did supply chain management in the Marine Corps. I believe this program is perfect for veterans such as myself who already have valuable experience in logistics and are working towards a degree.

I currently work for Coke, so a degree in this field would help me advance with my current employer. Please consider offering this degree, and other bachelor's degrees through the Virtual College.

The time to take classes would certainly depend on work or personal time schedule.

It would great for people like me, who work fulltime and study fulltime, to be able to study a bachelor's program accelerated. Like the A.A. Business Administration Accelerated Program

I would enroll in a BAS in Supply Chain Management if most of my credits from the BAS in Supervision and Management would transfer. If I would need to take no more than 12 credits.

Miami Dade should provide more business degrees that can help students specialize in a specific area. Such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing etc.

More business bachelor degree classes should be offered during weekday mornings, including blended classes.

I would like more information on the Bachelors you are offering to understand exactly what involves. Thanks

Interested in finance majors. It would also be interested if MDC offered any minors in international business.

send me the information first.

A program of this nature will undoubtedly interest me.

It would be desirable if MDC offered a bachelor's degree in Accounting

work can attend on Monday , Wednesday, evenings and Saturday currently finishing up my AA Business Adm pursuing Management Program BA

ASAP looking forward for this degree

What are the courses that will lead to the degree? The information is not enough to lead to a decision.

i want to apple for summer for my bachelor's degree

Please keep posted. I am very interested in this program. I also have an Advanced Supply Chain certification from FIU. Many thanks, Marcelo Penna K10307644.

9. What is the greatest challenge you face when filling positions in Logistics/SCM in your organization?

Project Management capabilities

Pay, benefit costs and regulations are the biggest issues in the logistics and transportation industry in South Florida. I currently see competition and rising overhead cost compressing margins. This margin compression is making it very difficult in general cargo operations. Generalist that compete on price alone are being hurt by competition and excess capacity. Well trained and knowledgeable employees might demand a premium in pay but the value added services are still in demand and profitable to South Florida operators. Specialty services will be the survivors in the industry. High volume distribution; Free Trade Zone and bonded facilities; Large warehouses measured in millions of square feet; specialty service such as cold treatment and perishable cargo; hazardous cargo handling and packaging; electronic documentation; tracking and cargo security; supply chain management are a few. As larger companies dominate the industry freight forwarders will look more like banks and high tech software will eliminate a lot of simple functions in daily operations. The jobs in the industry will have a barbell distribution with many unskilled jobs and many highly skilled jobs. General jobs (mid-level experience) will start to thin out rapidly. The big question is how much training will be required to get and keep the better jobs of the future. Designations, certificates and constant re-training might be the norm in the future. MDC's program should play a big role in keeping the better jobs in South Florida .Our geographical position might not be enough in the future unless it remains profitable to operate out of South Florida.

In our case, it is an understanding of global trade and critical problem solving. This industry is very team driven and this cannot be under emphasized.

11. Additional Comments

Educated employees with good manners; multiple languages; computer savvy; sales and marketing skills; customer service skills :and ,analytical and forecasting training will always be in high demand and well paid.

Procurement and Outsourcing will also have a great need for future managers. There is a growing trend for lowering direct costs and outsourcing physical inventory and logistics operations. This could increase due to new government regulations for providing healthcare benefits so manufacturing corporations may reduce employees on one end of the supply chain but it could increase opportunities for third party logistics companies who will inherit those operations.

Meeting Convened at 8:45am Thania Rios welcomed the committee and began introductions. She also provided some history of MDC, Kendall Campus and the School of Business. Candice Hunter shared the overview and purpose of the logistics and supply chain management program and accompanying college credit certificates. She also discussed the importance of the committee and the value each participant brings to the development of the program. Job Creation Candice Hunter reported that the goal of the degree and its supporting certificates is to provide the students with marketable skills for the job market growth projected in the South Florida area by the One Community One Goal (OCOG) project. She also shared that the College has submitted a bid to participate in a federal grant designed to create educational programs in the field of trade and logistics. Helen Cordero of MDX and Ines Calderon of Calderon & Associates reiterated their support for MDC especially in closing the gap between business and education. Ms. Calderon offered an opportunity to future students in this program to participate in America Cargo’s Conference (Logistics Sector). Frank Santeiro, Fed-Ex Latin America, suggested we integrate compliance, safety and sustainability into the

Page 55 of 127

curriculum. Digno Caballero, Bacardi stressed the importance of the integration of technology into the curriculum. Industry Certifications/Credentials Thania Rios inquired about the relevant and necessary certifications that would be important for our students to have that would align with workforce needs. For the warehousing and distribution sector, Fernando Santa Cruz, Freight Solutions mentioned the following:

Hazmat

Forklift

OSHA 10 or OSHA 30

Customer Service (Supported

by the entire group)

APICS (Association for Operations Management) certification programs were also identified. There are two relevant to our program; APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) and APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP). The Global Logistics Associate (GLA) and Certified Logistics Associate (CLA) were supported by faculty members, J.J. Schultz and Lee Blyth of Columbus State Community College. These latter two industry certificates are also approved and recognized by the State of Florida for our program.

Strategic Procurement Certificate

Helen Cordero, MDX recommended that our procurement classes and certificate program include a

diverse mix of topics to include both public and private procurement as the two are different. Public

employers want to hire potential employees that are trained in public procurement, sourcing and

purchasing. It was also recommended that the dictionary of industry terms be made available to the

students as the words in the industry have different meanings from everyday uses.

Internships

Internships were heavily recommended as a part of the program. It was also recommended that the

recruitment process start at the high school level and perhaps even integrate a 2+2+2 model. Columbus

State mentioned that its program is highly successful and now has a waiting list.

Technology

It’s been recommended that there be a heavy use and integration of information technology in the

program. Tran Logistics and Freight Solutions both use Magaya Logistics Software Solutions. Magaya

has offered its product to our institution for our students use free of charge. The College is working with

the company to negotiate the acceptance of this gift.

Next Steps

Our group will reconvene in 2-3 weeks to discuss the feedback received from the executive committee

and to make any refinements necessary to the curriculum.

DACUM Advisory Committee (DAC) Minutes

Eig-Watson School of Aviation

11/27/2012

1. Meeting was called to order by Diana Lewis at 8:13 AM.

2. Introductions were made around the room by each member and attendee. In attendance were

Manny Mencia, Barbara Pimentel, Roger Madan, Dr. Jorge Guerra, Jim Hatlan, Raymar

Rodriguez, Digno Caballero, Thania Rios, Candice Hunter, Sarah Tuskey, Jerry Lancio, Mark

Schell, Diana Lewis, Dr. Jeffery Thomas, Nora Powers, and Yvette Yurubi.

3. Curriculum Review and Discussion: A.S. in Transportation and Logistics

a. Diana Lewis introduced the current curriculum for the Associate’s degree in

Transportation and Logistics and explained that it was revised so that students will have

the background to continue their education with the School of Business Bachelor’s

degree in Supply Chain Management. Currently, there are 64 credits required to earn an

Associate’s Degree. The following points were made:

i. The goal of the AS degree is to give students an overview of operations,

regulations, and logistics systems and to make sure they understand how the

different modes of transportation function and interconnect when shipping

goods.

ii. An overview of the courses were provided and it was noted that the capstone

course will be a total review of the concepts taught in the curriculum, whether

through an internship, test or a special project.

iii. In addition to the AS degree, there will be two college credit certificates;

Intermodal Transportation and Freight Movement and Supply Chain

Management. These certificates offer a credential to students who may not be

interested in a degree an option. The courses in these certificates are

transferrable if the student later decides to seek a degree. In addition, students

in the AS degree will also be able to earn these certificates since these courses

are embedded in the program.

b. The floor was open to other members to provide feedback on the proposed A.S. degree in Transportation and Logistics:

i. Raymar Rodriguez indicated that the biggest issue among employees in the shipping industry was a lack of knowledge in the fundamentals, especially in geography. Jim Hatlan agreed that there should be a greater focus on basic education early on in the degree program, which would gradually expand to include more specific, job-related aspects. He highlighted project management as one of the key areas that degree should stress. Barbara Pimentel added that the industry is very detail-oriented and there are many regulations to understand. It was important for individuals to know and understand all the

Page 57 of 127

various agencies and transportation structures at every level and how they relate to one another. She also stated that her organization provides training for those working in the field. There was some discussion about the possibility of providing credits in the AS degree for those with industry certifications. Manny Mencia reinforced Barbara’s point on knowing all the agencies involved and added that there needs to be a course on rules and regulations in the industry to address the practical necessities of international trade businesses as well as to train vendors to comply with the security or other standards.

ii. Roger Madan pinpointed customer service as another key component that needs to be addressed with this degree. He felt some employees lacked communication skills when dealing with customers. Negotiation skills are also needed.

c. At the end of the discussion, Diana Lewis stated that it was important to confirm what

job a student could expect on completion of the program. She ask for the group to

confirm that the student should be able to coordinate logistics, advise clients, plan

shipping methods, and assure timely, economical, safe and secure delivery of goods via

land, sea or air or any combination of the transportation modes. It was unanimously

agreed that it would be possible.

4. Curriculum Review and Discussion: B.A.S in Supply Chain Management

a. The floor was turned over to Candice Hunter to offer an overview of the proposed curriculum for the Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain Management. She explained that the state is undergoing a transition in the number of required General Education courses, shortening the credits from 36 to 30. Fifteen credits will be prescribed by the state while the other fifteen will be decided by the college. She then outlined the prerequisites currently required for the degree.

b. After the explanation of the proposed curriculum, Candice Hunter asked those in

attendance about what technology and software training would benefit the program since the Business Department was in the process of working with the budget office to determine what sort of funding they would need.

i. Thania Rios suggested Magaya as a primary software to address the needs of the program as it was gifted to the College. Barbara Pimentel indicated that each company has a different system but also concluded that any software would be a gateway to helping the students familiarize themselves with others, so it would not matter.

c. In reviewing the curriculum, Jerry Lancio noted that there was an issue of redundancy in

offering both Managerial Economics and Microeconomics and Macroeconomics as

courses since they would be covering many of the same topics. Eliminating Managerial

Economics would allow room for a new, more beneficial course to take its place. He also

asked what sort of jobs should the students aspire to achieve with this degree and

whether or not the courses would be generic management and marketing courses or

slanted to cover transportation and logistics.

Page 58 of 127

i. Candice Hunter replied that jobs will be aimed towards management positions

and that the courses would include a mix of both generic courses and those

geared towards specific concentrations.

ii. Digno Caballero suggested that the courses should integrate more practical

aspects of the –supply chain management industry while Jerry Lancio pointed

out that the capstone should be the culmination of all their learning, so the

curriculum can address both issues of general and specific learning.

iii. Health care and hospital supply chain management were brought up as a major

area in the field that needed more emphasis.

iv. Sarah Tuskey elaborated on the topic by explaining that their aim was to start

students off with core classes in beginning of the program in order to give them

an opportunity to build and develop from there. Manny Mencia added to that

by stating that there should be a first-year basic course in international trade

and logistics since he felt this was an important core class that wasn’t on the

curriculum, yet.

v. Diana Lewis pointed out that TRA 2702 addressed the foundational international

trade and logistics coursework.

d. Candice Hunter proceeded to run through each of the courses on the curriculum one by

one and explain what they entailed.

i. Jim Hatlan questioned if there was a generic project management course and

reiterated that they should include that in the curriculum since he felt that was

a basic skill required of those entering the work force for the first time. Digno

Caballero agreed that new hires are often assigned to complete a specific

project and often do not know how to be successful in this area due to the lack

of practical components in their education.

ii. To expand on those points, Raymar Rordriguez explained that practical

experience plays a big role in moving up from a starting position to a higher-

income job and that students need actual experience to supplement their

course load. Candice Hunter addressed those concerns by indicating that the

degree would also be built for those that already have background in the

industry and are looking to advance their careers.

iii. Jerry Lancio suggested that the degree also include more coursework in

marketing and sales, as retail and distribution are both key parts of the industry

that require more focus in the program, while Barbara Pimentel advocated

further emphasis on freight-forwarding and logistics, as well.

5. Summary and Closing

a. The committee was thanked for all the input they offered and assured that it would all

be incorporated into the curriculum to help train students towards success.

b. Candice Hunter asked those present if they could provide a letter of endorsement as

required for the degree approval process and to show employer need for the program.

Page 59 of 127

i. She also requested opportunities for internships at both the A.S. and B.A.S

levels.

ii. Candice Hunter further indicated that she would send everyone an electronic

survey for them to complete to verify if the degree is viable for students wishing

to enter the industry, and she stressed that the deadline for everything to be

submitted was in three weeks.

Meeting was adjourned at 9:45 AM by Diana Lewis.

APPENDIX I: MDC/MDCPS COLLABORATIVE – LOGISTICS ACADEMY

Meeting Miami Central High School, MDCPS, & Miami Dade College October 23, 2012 10:00 am Attendees: Gregory Bethune: Principal, MCSH Henri Cepero, Supervisor, Career and Technical Education, MDCPS Ronda Mims, Program Coordinator, Career and Technical Education, MDCPS Mottolita Thompson, Assistant Principal, MCSH Jorge Guerra, Campus President, InterAmerican Campus, MDC Diana Lewis, Director, School of Aviation, MDC Candice Hunter, Chairperson, School of Business, Kendall, MDC The meeting was set to discuss the relationship between the high school and the college’s proposal for two new degrees: AS and BAS in the areas of logistics, transportation and supply chain management. Specifically, the discussion focused on the development of an academy that will articulate students into a 2+2 model toward this emerging field. Minutes Jorge Guerra – MDC is developing an AS degree in Logistics and Transportation degree and BAS in Supply Chain Management that students can articulate into. He shares that the development of an academy would work perfectly for our high school students to articulate to the AS and to then to the BAS- SCM. He posed the question: “How can we partner with the high school in the academy to assist students with earning college credit?” He also asked for feedback on the academy’s direction, how to solicit support from the parents and the students, and how math would be addressed since it would be critical to the student’s success in this field. Candice Hunter - What is the emphasis of the program? What would the academy like to focus on? Henri replied: The emphasis will be on Warehouse Management and Supply Chain Management. Diana Lewis asked if there will there be a freight forwarding component to the program of the Academy? Henri replied: Yes, that is my background (I have traveled extensively internationally) so that is a strength I will bring to the program. We have the freedom to design and name the program since we are at the beginning. Geometry, College Math – Algebra, Geography are critical and will be competencies of the program.
