The logistics and supply chain management industry in Africa is facing a critical talent shortage due to a lack of adequately trained professionals with limited access to tailored training programmes designed to cater for the unique African supply chain landscape.
In response to this challenge, a groundbreaking Edtech
platform known as SupplyEdu, was launched.
Dedicated to reshaping the educational landscape of
logistics and supply chain management across Africa, SupplyEdu is offering a
comprehensive e-learning solution.
Established in 2020 as ‘Multimixonline,’ the e-learning
solution emerged as an extension of Multimix Academy, Nigeria’s award-winning
supply chain education institute.
Now operating as a standalone Edtech startup, the e-learning
solution aims to bridge the educational gap by providing a self-paced,
continued learning platform specifically designed for both current and aspiring
supply chain professionals.
BrandIconImage learnt that the content is meticulously
tailored to meet the demands of the distinctive African supply chain
environment.
In the face of challenges impacting various sectors of the
African supply chain, including but not limited to food, oil and gas, and
international trade, SupplyEdu recognises the urgency for professionals to be
equipped with specialised knowledge to enhance their roles.
Traditionally, supply chain management education relies on
physical interventions and expensive international certifications.
However, the e-learning solution addresses this gap by
offering localised training embedded with global best practices.
SupplyEdu is spearheaded by co-founders, Oluchi Okafor and
Edwin Madu, who are on a mission to demystify supply chain education in Africa.
The platform aims to educate the entire value chain through
short, interactive courses covering crucial aspects such as logistics,
procurement, warehousing, distribution, and international trade.
