Partnerships
NASPO currently partners with over 20 Strategic Partners and 9 Academic Partners to form strong relationships with existing procurement organizations and continually elevate the public procurement profession.


Each year, NASPO staff travels to academic partner Supply Chain-focused career fairs. Invitations go out to CPOs in the region of that academic partner institution to attend and recruit for their office’s open full-time and internship positions.
Greetings,
Connecting with experts in their specialized fields is crucial for students as they build their careers. Career fairs hosted by our academic partners offer students invaluable opportunities to network and forge relationships with industry specialists. These connections can be pivotal for a successful career in public procurement.
If you’re interested in engaging with students and sharing your expertise, we encourage you to attend one of the upcoming career fairs hosted by our academic partners.
For more details, please reach out to Shaquasia Barksdale, Partnerships Manager, at sbarksdale@naspo.org.
Best regards,
