Supplier Diversity Online  

Learn what is possible as well as what other purchasing organizations are doing.

NMSDC’s supplier diversity online course is AVAILABLE NOW for continuing education in support of minority supplier development.

NMSDC’s kind of training is not currently offered anywhere else.  Our corporate members tell us NMSDC is the appropriate organization to offer targeted learning events to enhance the corporate/MBE, buyer/seller relationship.

Everyone needs to know.

This course will not only assist the supplier diversity staff. Corporate members have suggested they will enroll their corporate Diversity Council members. Several corporate members are building NMSDC's online course into the individual learning plans for buyers. And they are referring their first Tier suppliers to this course. 

Quality and thoroughness of NMSDC’s traditional and online programs is comparative, competitive and provides attendees with great program delivery options.
