The National Center for Supply Chain Automation provides this lesson plan designed for students interested in careers in manufacturing. It provides materials which help to orient the student on their prospective career path, such as the Pretest and the "material handling as a career" video. A link to the Automated Warehouse Simulation, a video titled "What is a Supply Chain Technician," a link to information on automation in warehouses, an occupational profile, and a sample program of study are included. These resources are designed to gage a student's interest in the field of manufacturing technologies, and offer information on the field, options for education, and career opportunities.
