Our core mission is the protection of children and family prosperity. Unchain Your Potential is our exclusive educational program that helps students reach their fullest potential in supply chain and any career.
This is an overview/excerpt of the information provided in that program.
Did you know that more than 44 million Americans—37% of the entire U.S. workforce—are employed in supply chain roles? That’s over one-third of the country working every day to keep goods moving, shelves stocked, and industries thriving.
And it’s not just about moving boxes.
According to the Harvard Business Review, supply chain careers are not only highly innovative, but they also pay well and offer consistent, meaningful work. Professionals in this field are problem solvers at heart—figuring out how to move materials more efficiently, sustainably, and ethically.
Our friend Ron Wright put it best:
“We are the moral compass of trade.”
From ensuring workers’ rights are protected to guiding companies in environmentally responsible practices, supply chain professionals shape how business gets done—and who it impacts.
A Career That Pays Off—Literally and Figuratively
Supply chain careers don’t just offer purpose, they offer great pay and job security.
- Entry-level roles start around $60,000 per year
- Experienced professionals can earn upwards of $145,000 annually
And unlike other industries that ebb and flow with economic tides, supply chain work is always in demand, no matter where you live.
