The NAPM-San Diego Collegiate Outreach focuses on these 4 key areas:

  • Internships
  • On-Site Activities
  • Mentoring
  • Student Membership

Internships: Getting San Diego County university students and companies represented by membership of their employees in NAPM-San Diego linked pro-actively to provide student internships is a natural process to offer full time career opportunities while promoting various services procurement professions.

On-Site Activities: A fundamental approach for mutual involvement and education is to engage in these on-site activities at universities:

  • Sponsoring/attending campus events related to Supply Management
  • Making presentations (joint or individual) at conferences and to student groups
  • Guest lecturing in classrooms
  • Booths at Career Fairs
  • Recruiting efforts
  • Becoming members of Advisory Councils

Mentoring Program: The primary mentoring focus is to educate students about the Supply Chain Management profession in general while also promoting the NAPM-San Diego organization. NAPM-San Diego will incorporate traditional mentoring by
establishing and supporting a strong program that is designed to encourage, promote, and coach full time students. This is accomplished by pairing up each student member with a member of NAPM-San Diego who will act as a host at monthly meetings, as a resource when requested by the student and to expose student to the mentor’s place of employment and methods of procurement utilized.

Student Membership: NAPM-San Diego actively attempts to bring students enrolled in university supply management degree programs into its activities by informing student organizations and faculty at universities of the organizations existence and benefits to student members.
