\"iStock_000041649848_Large\"<\/a>Six months ago, the U.S. Census Bureau noted that a quarter of our nation\u2019s population is now made up of 83.1 million millennials (born between 1982 and 2000). So, it should be a snap to fill those 1.4 million new supply chain jobs the U.S. Roadmap for Material Handling & Logistics predicts our industry will create by 2018\u2014right?<\/p>\n

Well, maybe. If the field can figure out how to educate and inform young professionals about the myriad opportunities supply chain offers.<\/p>\n

First, what makes millennials tick? In the past 18 months, Time, Forbes, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal have described this generation\u2019s penchant for technology, collaboration, new experiences, creative problem-solving, prompt feedback and meaningful work that results in a positive impact.<\/p>\n

Know any industries that offer all that? If you said, \u201csupply chain,\u201d you\u2019d be in agreement with the seven millennials MHI Solutions spoke with who currently work in the field.<\/p>\n

They range in age from 20 to early- 30s, have a variety of educational backgrounds and degrees and represent seven different industries: aerospace, automotive, healthcare, foodservice, retail, parcel handling and publishing. Despite their diverse profiles, they share a passion for the supply chain and were keen to discuss their experiences in hopes of attracting other young professionals
\nto the field.<\/p>\n
