JUST THIS PAST YEAR, the ports of Seattle and Tacoma have formed a new alliance to manage the marine cargo business of both ports. Together, the two ports are the third-largest port for container shipments in North America, and represent 48,000 jobs. In addition, civic and business leaders from across the Greater Seattle region unveiled a plan to attract new foreign investment and grow the region’s exports. With unprecedented coordination among local, regional, and statewide players, the goal is to be the most globally competitive region in the United States.

So, it may not come as a surprise to learn that Washington State is highly competitive in the global economy. According to the Washington Council for International Trade (2013), “International trade is the key driver of our state’s economy, cutting across nearly every sector. At least 40% of all jobs in the state can be tied to trade-related activity, making Washington state one of the most trade-engaged economies in the country.”

Washington’s geographic location, its globally-savvy companies and brands, its extensive and diverse supply chain management structure, and its innovative and highly-skilled workforce contribute to Washington State as THE place to do business.

One challenge in supply chain management career opportunities is that the “demand for supply chain talent is far exceeding supply, resulting in a shortage of SCM talent” (Dalsin, 2013). To meet the growing demand, the Center for Global Trade and Supply Chain Management is at the forefront of innovative training and education. The career-focused certificates and degrees inside this booklet were designed with the expertise of industry professionals, workforce educators, and governmental representatives. At the end of the day, we’re all about launching careers! Meg Ryan, Ph.D. Director, Center of Excellence for Global Trade and Supply Chain Management

coeglobaltrade.com | 3 Centers of Excellence

What are Centers of Excellence in Washington State? Centers are flagship institutions that build and sustain Washington’s competitive advantage through statewide leadership. Each center focuses on a targeted industry that drives the state’s economy and is built upon a reputation for fast, flexible, quality education and training programs. A targeted industry is identified as one that is strategic to the economic growth of a region or state. There are ten centers: Agriculture, Allied Health, Aerospace and Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, Clean Energy, Construction, Education, Homeland Security, Information and Computing Technology, Global Trade and Supply Chain Management, and Marine Manufacturing and Technology.

Linking education and industry to develop a stronger workforce. Centers are guided by industry representatives to lead collaborative and coordinated statewide education and training efforts to build a competitive workforce in a global economy. Centers will:

• Maintain an institutional reputation for innovation and responsive education and training delivery to their targeted industry.

• Act as a broker of information and resources related to their targeted industry for industry representatives, community-based organizations, economic development organizations, community and technical colleges, secondary education institutions, and four-year colleges and universities.

• Translate industry research into best practices. • Provide system coordination, coaching and mentoring to assist in building seamless educational and work-related systems.

• Build a competitive workforce for driver industries in Washington state.

Applied Bachelor’s Degree The four year degree is called a Applied Bachelor’s degree and is a degree specifically designed to build on associate degrees that provide workplace skills, known as career training or non-transfer associate degrees.

The Center has supported the development of the “pathway” model of educational planning that organizes curricula into series of stackable, integrated credentials.
