Purchasing Assessment of Skills for Success (PASS) Program<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Most leaders have an idea of the skills levels of their procurement team members. However, while you may have a subjective idea of which skill competencies could stand to be improved, having an objective, 3rd party confirmation can ensure you\u2019re focusing your training budget where it would be most effective.<\/p>\n

One of the tools the NLPA offers to qualifying organizations to help focus their training plans is the Purchasing Assessment of Skills for Success (PASS) Program.<\/strong> Not all procurement departments have an unlimited budget, so the PASS Program was created to help those teams pinpoint the skills gaps that exist and identify the biggest opportunities to make a positive impact through training and development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
