Online Leadership Series

This is reflected in the competency profile for logistics professionals that CITT has created through rigorous research and development. And at our annual conference and in our webinar series, CITT always includes learning on leadership-related topics for just that reason. 

Now, CITT has partnered with OpusWorks, an experienced online learning provider, to offer leadership skills training to the supply chain logistics sector.
