Texas A&M University is setting up five scholarships and working with different channel organizations/associations to get a mix of industries represented by offering one scholarship per channel. The University has selected STAFDA to represent the construction/industrial sector. One STAFDA distributor has the ability to receive a $5,000 scholarship to earn their Master of Industrial Distribution (MID) from Texas A&M University, one of the Top 10 Colleges of Engineering in the U.S. Scholarship applications will be submitted to Texas A&M whose faculty will select the STAFDA distributor to receive the scholarship. The recipient will be recognized during STAFDA’s General Session in Nashville, November 11, 2024. Please click here for details.
Texas A&M is also allowing STAFDA to share their “Talent Matters” micro-learning email series with members. Sent each Wednesday, STAFDA members will receive Texas A&M’s quick 3-4 minute read on actionable insights and strategies to implement into members’ talent recruitment and retention efforts. The University has interviewed individuals in all aspects of industrial distribution, from human resources to business administration, to executive vice presidents and talent acquisition, to provide members with fresh, new, and engaging content each week.
