Supply Chain Careers podcast hosts - Mike Ogle and Rodney Apple speak with Yossi Sheffi, the Elisha Gray II Prof. of Engineering Systems at MIT, where he serves as Director of the Center for Transportation and Logistics.

In this episode, Dr. Sheffi begins with his civil engineering start and move toward urban transportation and then to management of transportation systems in general. He explains the need for soft skills to complement the technical skills when working to get solutions developed and implemented.

Yossi talks about the tremendous growth and continued demand for their onsite and online masters candidates, whether it is degree or certificate programs. He sees the great interest in AI coupled with the growing awareness of supply chain. He provides thoughts about his recent book, "The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, AI, and the Future of Work" and the incredible changes that have taken place, with more to come, in supply chain.

He closes with his thoughts about education in general, including ways of continuous learning, and how we should be developing future generations to support our supply chain systems.
