taught in higher education environments and consistently receive feedback from students that in-person courses, and par- ticularly my classes, are better received than virtual classes. Point of fact, I’m much more discriminating about candidates for hire that did the majority of their educa- tion online. I’ve seen a strong correlation between intensely online coursework and the lack of capabilities and maturity. So, while I believe that education can serve to positively turn the dial on one’s trajectory, I believe it’s the type of education one is receiving that can make a difference.” Pandemic-motivated closures of “live” educational events, of course, remain the X factor.


“I feel that those with higher education have more ‘polish on the apple,’” Temple- ton quipped. “The journey to advanced degrees, especially if you are working, forces you to develop skills that become useful once school is over. These include time management, focus, oral and written communication skills, working within teams – if [the] program requires project completion – organizational skills and shar- ing experiences with others. [It] allows you to expand the way you think, and at the end the satisfaction and pride of completing the journey.”


Templeton further acknowledges that


many human resources compensation schemes include higher education require- ments on a ob to be equated with ustifi - cation for higher pay. “There are some organizations that are driven by ‘pedigree’ and some candidates would not even pass résumé acceptance without an advanced degree,” she added. But that pedigree can be a crutch as much as a barrier, Colonna warns. “As H.R. processes and systems become more automated, it becomes harder for candidates to apply for mid-manager and above roles,” he said. “Internal recruiters will not consider anyone who does not have a BA or MBA, if the [job description] has those requirements. This is unfortunate because I still believe that much of health- care supply chain is an [on-the-job-training] profession. I am not saying there is not value in higher education; I am just saying that we may be losing valuable candidates because of basic requirements that we have added to [job descriptions].”


Colonna contends that a degree may represent a rite of passage to some. “I also think there is this somewhat narrow-minded belief among some lead- ers, ‘if I had to get a degree, you have to have a degree,’” he continued. “I would say that there are long-time supply chain professionals who do not have degrees that
