SYSPRO Gives Back to the Manufacturing and Distribution Sector by Offering Skills Development Opportunity

SYSPRO, a global provider of industry-built ERP software, will be providing 500 recently unemployed individuals in the manufacturing and distribution sector with unlimited access to SYSPRO Learning Channel, an online education platform, at no cost for a six month period.

This initiative aims to increase a candidate’s chance of being successful in today’s exceptionally competitive market adversely impacted by COVID-19. The U.S. economy alone lost a staggering 20.5 million jobs in April, pushing the unemployment rate to 14.7% according to data released on May 8, by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. By applying, candidates will learn new skills and improve their knowledge of ERP and increase their chances of becoming more marketable.

“The impact of the pandemic has been felt by all sectors and industries globally. SYSPRO would like to take this opportunity to thank manufacturers and distributors around the world for continuing to work and support the economy, said Terence Moolman, SYSPRO Global Chief HR Officer. “As a call to action, we would like to encourage individuals within these two sectors who meet the above criteria to apply and take advantage of this initiative. SYSPRO hopes that by offering this opportunity we can make a difference in someone’s life.”

As a global initiative, candidates from all of SYSPRO’s operating regions will be considered including the U.S., Canada, Africa, U.K., Asia and Australasia. To qualify for this opportunity:

  • The candidate must be currently unemployed and have recently lost their employment due to the global COVID-19 pandemic
  • The candidate must have work experience in the Manufacturing sector
  • Preference will be given to candidates who have experience working in one of SYSPRO’s target market industries (please refer to below link for further details)
  • Preference will be given to candidates who have ERP experience

Please note: candidates who participate in this initiative will not be guaranteed employment within SYSPRO or with any of its partners. To learn more and to apply for this opportunity, please visit the SYSPRO USA application page.
