Who is it for?

This Melbourne MicroCert is tailored to those currently working in procurement, supply chain management, or for a not-for profit organisation or social enterprise that engages in procurement processes.

Relevance to your job and industry

This Melbourne MicroCert has been developed in close consultation with the government, corporate and not-for-profit organisations that are leading the way in social procurement practices in Australia.

Your learning is designed to match industry needs, and you'll gain practical insights into the social procurement process and the benefits it can bring, which can be immediately applied to your role and organisation.

Skills and learning outcomes

By the end of this course, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to implement social and sustainable procurement practices. You'll be able to:

Critically reflect upon your work and the practice of social procurement implementation

Analyse social procurement policy and apply procedures in your contemporary regulatory environment

Analyse the implementation challenges in your work context and the tools and techniques that can be applied to social procurement.

Pathways to further study

Implementation of Social and Sustainable Procurement can be taken as a stand-alone course or complemented with the other Melbourne MicroCerts in the Social and Sustainable Procurement series:

Foundations of Social and Sustainable Procurement

Implementation of Social and Sustainable Procurement

Strategic Social and Sustainable Procurement.

To get the most out of this course, we recommend taking Foundations Social and Sustainable Procurement first, but this is not a formal prerequisite.
