PMTC Young Leaders Education Bursary Award

PMTC YOUNG LEADERS EDUCATION BURSARY AWARD
Each year the PMTC will award 1 PMTC Young Leader and 1 Mohawk College Supply Chain Management Program Student with an Education Bursary, which will cover the costs for the recipient to complete 2 of the 4 courses that are required to complete the “PMTC Logistics Management Graduate Program”.

This program is an intensive 4 course program that, when completed, will arm the new emerging leader with the skills and confidence necessary to successfully climb the ranks in his or her company and become a successful leader in their organization. The award will help promote investment in the training needs of the future young leaders of our great industry.  For candidates lacking the necessary corporate funding to pursue the PMTC Logistics Management Program.
