Benefits of Certification
Research shows that the transportation and logistics industry is in high need of educated professionals. Salaries are increasing, positions are opening, and companies are hiring. A growing knowledge gap is requiring employees to seek further education and certification.
- Average Salary Increase: Average supply chain/T&L salaries increased significantly, by 5.6% from 2009-2010, compared with only 0.8% from 2008-2009.
- Recent Economic Recession: The recession led to increased demand for T&L educated professionals by making their ability to reduce supply chain costs more valuable.
- Growing Knowledge Gap: There's a growing knowledge gap in T&L, due to baby boomer retirees and a low supply of T&L specific programs producing new graduates.
- Regulations: A post-9/11 era has led to more heavily regulated international borders, and higher costs associated with international commerce. T&L regulatory knowledge is therefore very valuable. However, regulations may lessen in the near future due to President Obama's recent initiative to promote job growth by harmonizing current regulations.
- Average Salary By Level of Position: In 2010, those respondents who classify themselves as entry-level earned an average of $49,502; Those who classify themselves as experienced earned an average of $75,383; Manager-level professionals earned an average of $98,264; Directors earned an average of $134,220; Vice Presidents earned an average of $238,396; Chiefs earned an average of $231,142.
