Victoria University’s (VU) Institute for Logistics & Supply Chain Management (ILSCM) today signed an agreement to collaborate with Linfox Australia to provide logistics and supply chain management education and associated research.
This collaboration gives Linfox access to logistics education from a vocational level through to Master’s degree level and both organisations will work together on relevant research projects.
Dr Pieter Nagel Director of ILSCM said, “The Institute’s vision is to become the ‘knowledge centre of choice’ for logistics and supply chain management in the Asia Pacific area. With Linfox operating throughout this region, this collaboration will go a long way towards achieving this vision.”
“Victoria University and Linfox are working together to improve and enhance the skills of people working in logistics and supply chain management.”
Peter Fox, Linfox Chairman said, “Linfox is pleased to be associated with the Institute and is confident that this collaboration will lead to further ventures in education and research and other joint activities throughout Australia and Asia Pacific.”
“Linfox is committed to educating its people and already conducts a vast range of in-house programs through our own Linfox College. This agreement extends our commitment to educating our people at all levels of the supply chain industry.”
