‘Vets to WERC’ Campaign Aims to Help Solve Labor Shortage Problem in the Supply Chain Industry

Awareness campaign to align jobs in the supply chain field with the skill sets of military veterans.

A report released last month by the U.S. Department of Labor finds the unemployment rate among veterans in 2015 declined by 1.4 percentage points from the previous year.

Despite this downturn and the fact that nearly 200,000 men and women are deployed from military to civilian life annually, the supply and logistics arena is experiencing a significant worker shortage. Industry experts predict this gap will expand as baby boomers retire and as at least 270,000 jobs need to be filled every year.

To help solve this problem, New England-based Legacy Supply Chain Services, multi-media publisher DC Velocity and the national Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC) is launching an awareness campaign. “VETS To WERC” was showcased to 450 companies at the association’s 39th annual conference at the Rhode Island Convention Center, May 15-18.
