Please find below our full schedule of training for your Purchasing
and Supply Chain Management Staff up until December.

During times of economic uncertainty it is essential to have a
competent, skilled workforce. Successful companies recognise the need
in the current climate to build on their competitive advantage by
investing in people as well as keeping motivation and staff morale
high.

The fact is, people are undoubtedly the key to a company’s success.
Ensuring they perform well shouldn’t even be a question.

Please take the time to consider some of the excellent opportunities
available for staff development and cost savings. It brings increased
workforce loyalty for your business and develops skills to help your
business thrive.

And remember, for every place chosen from our schedule by members, we
will offer the same or equivalent training to unemployed members of
the Association of Purchasing and Supply.

Join APS today and we will send you a 250 euro voucher for Easons
Bookstore.

happy to hear from you anytime.

Thank you for your time.
Best Wishes
