Supply Chain Management Students Tour Treaty Supply

Treaty Supply general manager, Lisa Hesson, hosted the Greenville CTC Supply Chain
Management program on Friday, October 5th. As a part of SCM's educational goals, the group toured the facility while gaining a more thorough understanding of the supply chain process.

While on tour the students experienced the overall business process for this local
company. They were able to speak with the warehouse manager, general manager, purchasing director, sales staff and customer service representatives. Each individual explained their own job duties and the importance of working efficiently and effectively to the bottom line for both the company and the individual employee. The students had plenty of questions and enjoyed the opportunity to learn the "picking" process, the shipping and general cycle of business for this company.

If your company would be willing to host the Supply Chain Management program from
Greenville's Career Tech Center please feel free to contact Dara Buchy at the school or by email: dbuchy@greenville.k12.oh.us.

Recently, the Supply Chain Management program at Greenville High School's Career Tech Program took part in a 1/2 day job shadowing experience. Job shadowing involves contacting businesses to find a willing Mentor, visiting a business for 1/2 day and asking lots of questions! The Supply Chain students were excited about the opportunity and found tremendous learning locations and wonderful mentors for their first job shadow experience this year. Most students were located within Darke County in our local businesses. There were students working the front desk at the YMCA, grooming animals at Reigning Cats and Dogs, assisting in the County Commissioners office, working in retail locations such as Sadie Grace and Club Seven, Prairie Farms, Florida Production Engineering, Leis Realty, Drew Ag, the Darke County Sheriff's Office, and Treaty Supply to name a few!

The students were placed in businesses to learn about different careers as well as to gain the opportunity to watch and learn about different business processes. Not only did the students spend time learning about jobs in their community, they also spent time preparing presentations to share with fellow students about their experience. The goal of the program is to better inform students of careers that are available while determining how those positions fit into supply chain and logistics.

A big thanks to all of our job shadow locations. The students will continue to job shadow during the course of the school year. If your business is interested in being a job shadowing location and mentor to an up and coming business professional, please feel free to contact Dara Buchy via email dbuchy@greenville.k12.oh.us.
