A showcase for the supply chain
Become a Supply Chain Mentor to inspire young people
All Supply Chain players are trying to attract young talent, but the latter do not even know what Supply Chain is! At best, they vaguely confuse it with transport and logistics and ignore the role of its professions at the cutting edge of technological innovation or commitment to sustainable development.
To create vocations, the most effective way remains the testimony. This is the purpose of the project launched by France Supply Chain with the My Job Glasses platform to put mentors (you!) in touch with young people aged 15 to 30. Whether they are still studying, have just graduated or have had a disappointing first professional experience, their professional horizons are often limited to the professions of their parents and relatives. The aim is therefore to open up the field of possibilities for them and perhaps change the course of their lives.
France Supply Chain is therefore asking its members to become mentors in order to create a trigger via 30-minute to 1-hour videoconference exchanges with a different young person at each meeting. All you need to do is to fill in your profile on the My Job Glasses platform beforehand. Teachers from numerous partner schools mobilise and prepare these young people for the interviews.
The key to success is that as many members as possible get involved. The approach has been tried and tested: at Saint Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France, 500 employees got involved to tell their stories, a way of raising awareness of the company and its activities, not to mention the potential for recruitment.
The platform also puts an end to many preconceived ideas. Young people do not feel legitimate to interview professionals. The first post-interview feedback from young people on the My Job Glasses platform is that the professionals are " normal and caring "! Just like the members of France Supply Chain.
HIGHLIGHTS
Transport costs on the rise
The price of road transport has risen for the sixth consecutive month. This is one of the findings of the monthly Upply Freight Index barometer, which shows a steady upward trend over the past year. Year-on-year, the increase would be in the order of 4.41%. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, the economic situation, which despite the Omicron variant wave has held up rather well, resulting in strong demand from shippers (quite unusual in January). But the major element is the explosion of diesel prices, which, according to Upply analysts, "is strongly feeding the pump of the inflationary system". To such an extent that fuel has become the number one item of expenditure for road transport, not only in France, but almost everywhere in Europe. For example, in January, the Comité National Routier (CNR) reported that the price of diesel for professional use had jumped by 7.8% compared to December 2021 and by 33.1% compared to January 2021. If we add to this the soaring prices of international transport, particularly containers from Asia, we can better measure the economic impact of these increases on the entire supply chain.
