Lenovo and Bellevue University Team Up to Offer Supply Chain and Logistics Education to Deliver 'Smarter Technology for All'
Bellevue, Neb., United States:
Lenovo, the global technology powerhouse, recognized in the top 10 in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25, and Bellevue University, one of the nation's top online universities, are teaming up to develop the next generation of supply chain professionals.
'We believe that bringing real-world Global Supply Chain experience and learning directly into an education curriculum is precisely the optimal way to upskill the workforce of the future,' said Ben Massie, Vice President, Global Supply Chain, Lenovo. 'Teaming up with Bellevue allows us to attract the right talent using the right technology and deliver on our mission to make 'smarter technology for all' a reality.'
As a preferred higher education institution tapped to team up with Lenovo to offer supply chain short-term learning, Bellevue will leverage the breadth and depth of Lenovo's supply chain expertise across its diverse learner and corporate partner network.
Massie continued, 'With a network of over 30 manufacturing sites across nine markets, Lenovo's supply chain is one of our core strengths. By bringing our real-life case studies and insights into the curriculum, we aim to equip students with the skills to succeed in the complex and dynamic working environment. Partnering with Bellevue University, which has a strong track record of working with organizations, allows us to share our knowledge and together build the supply chain experts of the future.'
According to a 2024 McKinsey & Company report, a shortage of talent, particularly digital talent, continues to hinder companies' supply chain transformation efforts. Ninety percent of companies surveyed in the report said they lack sufficient talent to meet digitization goals.
Now, individuals who enroll in the Supply Chain Operations & Project Management Certificate of Completion can gain sought-after skills through two three-credit hour courses – Management of Supply Chain Operations and Advanced Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. The master's-level courses can be taken concurrently, allowing learners to complete the certificate of completion in under eight months.
'With a deep focus on employee growth planning, we're uniquely qualified to help adult learners and the employers we partner with upskill or reskill their supply chain workforce,' said Dr. Rich Lombardo, Executive Director of Bellevue University's Workforce Skills Academy. 'Working together, we can ensure that the next generation has the skills and knowledge needed to deal with the complexities that are ever-present in global supply chains.'
Lenovo's global supply chain leadership provides a singular resource for students and professionals to understand how diversifying manufacturing operations and supply chain resources helps companies thrive during unpredictable periods—a proven, real-world arena for students to apply their education. Lenovo also deploys original AI solutions across its own operations, prioritizes sustainability, and pioneers essential, end-to-end cybersecurity offerings.
Dr. Lombardo added that those who complete the Bellevue-Lenovo program will receive two digital badges, a certificate of completion, and six graduate-level credit hours transferable to a master's degree.

On September 25, 2024, the investment bank Jefferies downgraded Fortrea from buy to hold, citing perceived weaknesses in the Company's business model as a contract research organization ('CRO') amid pressure on biotechnology funding and that the cost savings Fortrea expects to achieve by existing transition services agreements ('TSAs') are 'not as material as one might think.' On this news, Fortrea's stock price fell $2.73, or 12.3%, to close at $19.48 per share on September 25, 2024, thereby injuring investors. Then, on December 6, 2024, Baird Equity Research stated that '[g]iven our ongoing concerns around the sector, [Fortrea's] choppy history post spin, and lack of clarity on the abrupt communications course change, we cannot recommend an actionable investment (buy or sell)[.]' On this news, Fortrea's stock price fell $1.90, or 8.1%, to close at $21.67 per share on December 6, 2024.

Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Fortrea overestimated the amount of revenue the Pre-Spin Projects were likely to contribute to the Company's 2025 earnings; (2) Fortrea overstated the cost savings it would likely achieve by exiting the TSAs; (3) as a result, the Company's previously announced EBITDA targets for 2025 were inflated; (4) accordingly, the viability of the Company's post-Spin-Off business model, as well as its business and/or financial prospects, were overstated; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
