DHL Supply Chain and Girl Scouts of the USA have partnered to create a logistics patch and curriculum aimed at inspiring young girls to pursue careers in the supply chain industry. Recent data shows that women represent only 41% of the workforce in this sector, with only 15% holding executive roles.
The partnership aims to close the gender gap in STEM fields and ensure female representation in the future supply chain workforce. DHL Supply Chain has committed $1 million to fund the curriculum and will collaborate with Girl Scouts on developing and piloting the skills training program. The patch program is set to be available to Girl Scout troops across the U.S. by 2025-2026.
