This project is developing an associate degree and professional certification program in Secure Logistics to provide students with the requisite knowledge and skills to be employable in the field of secure logistics and be prepared to work in a variety of business and industry settings to improve synchronization and security of the supply chain. This project targets the retraining of the incumbent worker in the transportation and secure logistics industry and supplies businesses in the local service area with training in new technologies to ensure an efficient and accurate transport of goods. The offering of both degree and a professional certification programs in secure logistics seeks to address immediate and future workforce needs while providing the means for continued education and career advancement in the field. The project is:(1) Developing and piloting an Associate in Applied Sciences (AAS) degree in Secure Logistics and Supply Chain Management that addresses identified gaps in the education of transportation, logistics, and security industries. Working in conjunction with academic institutions, state agencies, national business partners, ports, and local businesses; the program provides a direct linkage between cutting edge technologies such as RFID and business supply chain methodologies. (2) Developing and piloting a professional certification program in Transportation and Secure Logistics that addresses the growing need for the training and further education of workers and managers at all levels of the supply chain. This certificate program encompasses training in the use of Geographic Information Systems/Global Positioning Systems (GIS/GPS) and IT as they relate to common carriers, global logistics, business, secure computing and telecommunications, and point-to-point tracking of goods. The certificate program serves the needs of employees with limited training time and provides for future growth through achievement of the AAS degree in Secure Logistics as the courses in the certificate program count towards the associate degree.(3) Developing a tiered professional certification program that builds on existing IT and wireless technology certification programs.Intellectual Merit: This project is creating new educational opportunities for an emerging field responsive to pronounced local needs and educating incumbent workers in secure logistics and supply chain management. Led by a team of faculty and a strategically selected advisory committee with representatives from critical organizations such as Intel, Western Pacific Truck School, Western Pacific Trucking, Dell, U.S. Naval War College, Pierce College, Clark College, and the State of Washington Dept. of Transportation, the project is informed by industry and builds upon research literature and the work of others. Broader Impacts: The engagement of industry is a direct response to employer and workforce demands. To promote diversity, recruitment efforts for training of new entrants into the industry are focused on minorities and underrepresented populations in the transportation and secure logistics field. The project serves as a nationwide model for other institutions with results disseminated through Transportation and Homeland Security programs of collaborating institutions and regional and national conferences.

该项目正在开发安全物流的副学士学位和专业认证课程，为学生提供在安全物流领域就业所需的知识和技能，并准备在各种商业和行业环境中工作，以提高供应链的同步性和安全性。该项目的目标是对运输和安全物流行业的在职工人进行再培训，并为当地服务领域的企业提供新技术培训，以确保货物的有效和准确运输。在安全物流方面提供学位和专业认证课程，旨在满足当前和未来的劳动力需求，同时为该领域的继续教育和职业发展提供手段。该项目是：（1）开发和试点安全物流和供应链管理应用科学（AAS）学位，解决运输，物流和安全行业教育中的差距。该计划与学术机构，国家机构，国家商业合作伙伴，港口和当地企业合作;该计划提供了RFID和商业供应链方法等尖端技术之间的直接联系。(2)开发和试行运输和安全物流专业认证计划，以满足供应链各级工人和管理人员日益增长的培训和继续教育需求。该证书课程包括使用地理信息系统/全球定位系统（GIS/GPS）和IT的培训，因为它们涉及公共运营商，全球物流，商业，安全计算和电信以及货物的点对点跟踪。该证书课程满足员工的需求，培训时间有限，并通过实现安全物流AAS学位为未来的增长提供了机会，因为证书课程中的课程计入副学士学位。(3)在现有IT和无线技术认证计划的基础上开发分层专业认证计划。智力优势：该项目正在为新兴领域创造新的教育机会，以响应明显的当地需求，并对现任工人进行安全物流和供应链管理方面的教育。由一个教师团队和一个战略选择的咨询委员会领导，该委员会由英特尔、西太平洋卡车学校、西太平洋卡车运输公司、戴尔、美国海军战争学院、皮尔斯学院、克拉克学院和华盛顿州政府部门等关键组织的代表组成。该项目是由行业提供信息，并建立在研究文献和其他人的工作基础上。更广泛的影响：行业的参与是对雇主和劳动力需求的直接回应。为了促进多样性，为培训新进入该行业的人员而进行的招聘工作侧重于运输和安全物流领域的少数群体和代表性不足的人口。该项目作为其他机构的全国性模式，其成果通过合作机构的交通和国土安全方案以及区域和国家会议传播。
