Debating certification and professional development
by Anna-Carolle Bougie
Continuing on from my
first look at
professional development and certification for the materiel and supply
community in the federal government, I asked a long-time friend in the
community to read it with a critical eye. He responded: the article

departmental employees so that each person can evaluate what it means to
them.

Introducing the materiel and supply management professional development
program
by Doug Woods
A new professional development program has been developed over the

initiative, is being launched to enhance the skills, professionalism and
value-added contribution of procurement, materiel and supply managers
across government in delivering programs and services to Canadians.
