Tailored Learning Pathways for Your Supply Chain Team
At Georgia Tech Supply Chain & Logistics Institute, we’ve spent over 70 years helping leaders build resilient, efficient supply chains. Our custom training programs are built from scratch, designed in collaboration with you from a 30-minute needs assessment to a curriculum that drives measurable results.
When it comes to professional development, one size doesn’t always fit all. Here’s how to decide whether custom training or a public course is the best fit for your team:
✅ Opt for Custom Training when:
You have specific goals or challenges. Tailored content ensures your team gets exactly what they need—no filler, no fluff.
Your team needs to learn together. Custom sessions foster collaboration and ensure everyone is aligned on tools, terminology, and strategy.
You want to protect sensitive information. Custom training allows for private discussions around proprietary processes or data.
You’re looking for flexibility. Choose the schedule, format, and delivery style that works best for your organization.
✅ Choose a Public Course when:
You have just a few individuals to train. Public courses are cost-effective for small groups or individuals.
You’re looking for a quick solution. Public sessions are scheduled regularly and ready to go.
You want to network and learn from others. Participants benefit from diverse perspectives and shared experiences across industries.
You’re exploring a new topic. Public courses are a great way to test the waters before committing to a deeper, custom engagement.
