[MUSIC PLAYING] - So as I mentioned, the course is accredited by the professional body CILT. CILT stands for Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. There is a huge demand for supply chain professionals in the market forever. It is irrespective of pre-COVID, post-COVID, or during COVID times.
For example, the basic Rs of supply chain. As a customer, we always need the right product, at the right time, at the right quality, with the right quantity, and the right price. Are we getting it? No. So irrespective of the size, it is very hard for any organization to hit all the seven R's.
It could be even the manufacturing or the service sector organization. It could be a global organization or a local organization, a micro-enterprise. So this is the first thing, industry always needs supply chain professionals, irrespective of their background.
And the second thing is that logistics, for example, where we live is the United Kingdom. Logistics plays a vital role in the United economy. So I can just say that the United Kingdom economy, I do apologize, employing millions of people around the year around only logistics. If I correctly remember in 2022, it was around 1.2 million. So I do apologize if it is plus or minus 10 percentage around the figures.
So keeping all these things in mind, having a professional body accreditation and throughout your course content from design to delivery, we will aim to prepare you to meet the needs of the industry irrespective of the sectors.
So the first topic is that kind of gives a wow factor to everyone is supply chain resilience. So resilience causes disruptions. So for example, you're not-- you just go to Tesco or Aster, and the most current news is that you will actually be-- you can only purchase a certain amount of groceries in the shops. That is one of the news that came up a few weeks back.
So the first thing is supply chain resilience. So supply chain resilience causes disruptions. So the policies in place, are they working really for the people? Are they helping the economies? Or are they helping the processes? So I would like to answer this question from the three basic things in supply chain-- people, process, and product.
So the first thing is that the resilience, that is from the process end of the supply chain that is causing a lot of disruptions in the economy. And the second thing is that when these disruptions occur, your supply chain becomes unsustainable. You can't sustain your supply chain for long. So through this course, we actually build an entrepreneurial orientation towards the student by focusing on all these other strands of supply chain.
As a financialist, how do you observe this issue? As a sustainable person in the supply chain, what is your view on it? So the second thing is that, what can you do from your end as a customer or an actor in the supply chain to sustain it? And the next thing is that your supply chain visibility. So for example, the environmental challenges are growing more, and more, and more, and more.
The researchers in supply chain currently they are standing on green supply chain. So it is go green. So what are the effects or the impacts of go green? We are building environmental challenges, pollution, deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions. So as supply chain person or as a supply chain professional, how are you going to handle all these challenges? So we do offer all this content through in our course as I mentioned from various strands.
This program is being accredited by CILT, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. It provides the members the good networking opportunities across different sectors in supply chain. So that includes both the manufacturing and the service industries.
