Softlink Academy, the dedicated skill development arm of Softlink Global, is making significant strides in addressing the logistics skills gap in India. In collaboration with Coimbatore Marine College (CMC), the academy introduced the Logi-Sys Certification Program into CMC’s MBA in Logistics and BBA in Supply Chain programs. This practical, software-based curriculum ensures graduates are job-ready, with several students already securing domestic and international placements following program completion.
Why CMC Chose Softlink Academy’s Certification Program
The partnership with Softlink Academy reflects CMC’s focus on providing industry-relevant education. With logistics increasingly dependent on technology, CMC identified the Logi-Sys ERP platform as a valuable tool to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application.
“The integration of Logi-Sys bridges the gap between theory and practice, giving our students a competitive edge in the job market,” said Dr. S.B. Senthilkumar, Dean of Logistics & Shipping at CMC. “With our existing curriculum and the addition of industry-friendly programs like this one, we ensure our graduates are equipped to handle real-world challenges from almost day one.”
Logi-Sys Certification: Practical Learning with Real-World Impact
The LogiLearn initiative under Softlink Academy provides students with practical knowledge of logistics operations using Logi-Sys, a leading ERP system for freight and logistics management. This targeted training ensures students develop the skills required to thrive in a sector increasingly driven by technology.
The program’s success is reflected in multiple placements achieved by graduates, both within India and internationally, demonstrating the demand for professionals with expertise in tech-enabled logistics management.
