We collaborate with our Department of Defense clients, as well as some of world’s leading companies to create training programs that drive and strengthen supply chain and logistics strategies.

Our specially tailored Logistics, Supply, Maintenance and Transport training has been designed to support military professionals through every stage of their logistics careers. From the introductory courses in project management and supply chain management principles to complex operational and strategic planning in support of real-world global military operations, we are here to educate, train and support our nation’s Warfighters and build premier logisticians.

 

MAT’S MODULAR TRAINING MODEL

We believe it is necessary to build customized training and education programs that serve the fundamental need to build capabilities and competencies for a target audience. Our customized, modular programs allow us to align individual and organizational needs to foster discussion and interaction along a common mission and strategy. We specialize in developing courses to meet an organization’s goals and strategies and to tailor a program to specific requirements. We partner closely with our clients through a planning and preparation process to ensure a perfect fit. Once strategy and capabilities maps are completed, we build consensus on the program syllabus, the audience profile, and evaluation mechanisms. Once specific topics and content to be delivered are finalized and developed, our team of top-rated industry subject matter experts will work to administer, facilitate and deliver each course.
