In this Adapting Supply Chains 2025 Webinar, Dave Porter, a supply chain executive and recruiter, will talk about talent in the supply chain. There are estimated to be over 2 million jobs that could go unfilled in supply chain in the next several years, yet jobs are evolving at a rapid pace. Artificial intelligence is changing the landscape, autonomous vehicles have the potential to dramatically shift talent in the supply chain, and advanced technologies are changing and evolving daily. Tariffs have thrown a wrench into the mix. Join David to learn about how the talent landscape is evolving, what employers expect, how technologies are impacting the market, and his forecasts and predictions for the future of talent in the supply chain.
