WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING...

 

 

Graybar ... strongly believes having an educated Government sales force is key to our company's success in this market.

To further build on this educational foundation, Graybar has embraced the opportunity for our Government Strategic Contract Managers to complete the NIGP Supplier Masters Certification.  After completing the course,  I understand more of the policies, processes, and expectations of government procurement practitioners.  I am honored to hold my NIGP Supplier Masters Certification and plan to use this knowledge to further develop and train our sales team.

The Public Procurement Supplier Masters Designation is designed for individuals who have some experience in working with the public procurement sector but who want to deepen their knowledge and gain broader mastery. It is a 12-hour on-demand offering that is completed at your own pace with 24/7 access and consists of 16 short learning modules. Learners who have previously completed the Supplier Essentials curriculum would only need to take the additional competency modules required for the Masters Designation. As with all our Pathways based learning curriculum, once you complete the course and pass the assessment, you will be awarded a digital badge that can be proudly displayed to showcase your effort and your understanding of public procurement.
