Get prepared for the Leadership and Transformation in Supply Management exam with ISM's Guided Learning course. Designed with today's busy professional in mind, this comprehensive, self-paced course will provide a deep understanding of core supply management competencies and set you up for success on the exam.

Many supply chain professionals learn the basics of contracting on the job. However, to advance in your profession, you’ll need to develop more sophisticated contracting skills. This supply chain management course will provide you with advanced contracting know-how to progress in your career and take on new challenges. In this “beyond the basics” contracting course, you’ll build upon your existing contract knowledge and take it a step further by focusing on how to construct effective customized agreements. For hands-on practice, you’ll review numerous contract clauses and their uses in various situations, including services, software, construction and e-commerce. This course will also address contracts from a global perspective to prepare you with global contracting skills, an in-demand skill set. To ensure this course is applicable to your specific role, you're invited to have copies of your contracts for reference during the program.

Join the Women’s Supply Management Community and its Mentorship Committee for an interactive session for those interested in mentorship within the profession. Whether you participate in our mentorship program or are interested in learning more, you’re encouraged to attend to meet other professionals in an informal virtual format. This session will be led by the Mentorship Committee and feature the benefits of mentor/mentee relationships, walk through the tool used to facilitate mentorships, and how to get involved.

All are welcome, you do not need to be an ISM member or current mentorship program participant.
