CONTINUING EDUCATION INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ASSOCIATION FOR SUPPLY
CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Press Release

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Continuing Education Institute announces
a new partnership with the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM), a
global leader in supply chain certification, in order to prepare learners to
meet the ever-growing demand for well-trained and knowledgeable workers in the
supply chain industry. As part of the partnership, UW-Platteville will offer two
courses designed to aid and support those seeking their APICS certification.

"UW-Platteville is proud to offer the Certified Planning and Inventory
Management (CPIM)," said UW-Platteville Continuing Education Institute Executive
Director Kerie Wedige. "This in-demand certification will help regional
businesses should they choose to send cohorts through the program by providing
them with functional knowledge of production and inventory management."  

Wedige said those who successfully complete the certification have the
opportunity to earn higher wages. The Association for Supply Chain Management
reports that APICS-certified individuals earn up to 27% more than their
non-certified peers and 16% more than those with other certifications.

The course is led by UW-Platteville professor Wendy Brooke, a past President of
the Madison Chapter of APICS. Brooke brings 20 years of experience and a deep
educational background to the course. She said the need for qualified supply
chain managers has grown exponentially, especially in the wake of the COVID-19
pandemic, which caused a major shift in consumer demand and put a spotlight on
supply chain vulnerabilities.

"The pandemic has shown us that planning is more important than ever, and the
CPIM program gives you the tools and skills to address these challenges," said
Brooke. "Earning the APICS CPIM demonstrates mastery of an organization’s
internal operations and an in-depth understanding of materials management,
master scheduling, forecasting, production planning and its application across
the extended supply chain."

The CPIM credential is obtained after passing two exams. Each exam covers
materials taught in the courses and is administered by ASCM. The UW-Platteville
courses provide the knowledge needed to pass the exam and cover test-taking
strategies and sample questions from the exams. To learn more about the courses,
