St. Lawrence College and CITT Partner to Equip Supply Chain Students with In-Demand Credentials

St. Lawrence College (SLC) is proud to announce a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the CITT – Canada's Logistics Association, for students in its Supply Chain Management post-graduate certificate program. Through this partnership, students who meet academic requirements will be eligible to earn the CITT-Certified Logistics Professional® (CCLP®) designation, a prestigious credential in the supply chain and logistics sector. 

This agreement integrates the academic requirements for the CCLP® designation into SLC’s program, so that graduates will not only gain industry-specific knowledge but will also leave with a recognized professional credential, giving graduates a competitive edge in the job market.
