Supply Chain Management (SCM) Helps Community Employment Services           

Supply Chain Management students from Greenville High School recently completed a marketing project for Community Employment Services, a program within the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities. 

This fall Tamala Marley, Job Coordinator for CES, approached the Greenville Career Tech Center for assistance in designing a new tri-fold brochure to enhance their marketing program.  The SCM students offered their services and the collaboration began. 

Ms. Marley came into the SCM classroom and shared her ideas and goals for the project. The students in both the Junior SCM class and the Senior SCM class got to work in teams of two creating their personal brochure as they understood the goals.  After completion the students reviewed all of the projects and voted on the top three options to submit to the CES program for review.  The winning brochure was selected and a few small revisions made. Ms. Marley’s Team was excited for the creative outcome and look forward to using it to increase awareness for the program in the community. 

Senior SCM student  Adam Hickerson, explained, “It was nice to work for a business in our community. The experience taught us how to take others ideas and guidelines to create something that is appreciated and can have a positive impact on the community.” 

The senior SCM students recently toured Wayne Industries to see the how the facility functions and how the brochure will benefit the workers.   While on tour, the students had an opportunity to speak with a Wayne Industries employee. He explained to the students he enjoys working at  both Wayne Industries and Arby’s.  His job at Arby’s is part of the Community Employment Services program!  Jobs like this allow the workers the opportunity to be more self sufficient and successful!  “I enjoyed experiencing the job site of Wayne Industries.  It was neat to see the employees working, but made me realize even more how important this brochure is to allowing them to  make more money and support themselves,” said Brian Bailey after the tour. 

Tara Guillozet, the creator of the chosen brochure shares, “Having the opportunity to work with Tamala Marley with CES and create this brochure has given me real life experience. She knew what she wanted. We made it happen!” 

Supply Chain Management is a two year program offered at Greenville High School Career Tech Center.  The students study all aspects of logistics, procurement, customer service, and marketing. The program welcomes community involvement and invites area business owners to share their experiences in the classroom.
