Prominent Procurement Consultancy Shares Valuable Career Insights at Area Universities

    WILLOW GROVE, PA, April 01, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Continuing the leading procurement services provider's growing collegiate presence, Source One Management Services will be engaging students at The University of Scranton and Penn State Abington at recruiting events this spring. Spend management experts, also Scranton and Penn State alumni, from Source One are looking forward to sharing with students a look into the career opportunities within procurement consulting, as well as recruiting candidates for available positions within the firm.

On Friday, April 1st, Source One's Scranton alumni, representing five different graduating classes, will return to the University for an informational panel and presentation providing students valuable insights into career paths within supply chain and the advantages of working at a consultancy. Following the round table, Source One will hold preliminary interviews for candidates interested in full-time or internship positions. The goal of the event is to shed light on the role of a boutique consulting firm, such as Source One, in supporting a client's cost-reduction goals.

"It's always exciting to attend recruiting events and engage young professionals. It's a great opportunity to hear fresh perspectives and take a look at the industry with a new set of lenses." shared Source One VP of Professional Services and Scranton Alum, Joe Payne. "Source One has seen a significant shift in the composition of the procurement and sourcing workforce as more and more companies utilize both full-time and contract supply management resources to achieve their budget optimization goals. With procurement and supply management professionals in such high-demand right now, there's no better time for students to learn about the career options and prepare themselves - whether through different classes or taking on new internships. Personally, it's a special honor to be back at Scranton to share my words of advice for students to set themselves up for successful careers in procurement."

Source One will also be attending Penn State Abington's Spring Career Expo on Tuesday April 5th. With graduation season upon us, the expo aims to introduce soon-to-be grads, as well as internship seekers to potential employers. Abington, a Penn State satellite campus, hosts a Career Expo each semester, welcoming a wide range of companies and organizations to meet current students and recent alumni seeking employment and internships.

These events mark Source One's first appearances at both Universities, and are indicative of the company's growing presence as thought leaders at prominent higher education institutions. Also this spring, Source One will join other industry leaders at the Institute for Supply Management's Annual Conference (ISM2016), held this May in Indianapolis. Attendees are welcome to stop by Source One's booth #528 to learn more about the company's procurement services portfolio or listen to Joes Payne's session entitled "Navigating Ahead in an On-Demand World: Procurement's New Realm."
