Supply Chain Management Info Session
Get in on the Ground Floor of Supply Chain 2.0
Attend our next Information Session about our Supply Chain Management program to learn about the high-paying and exciting jobs available. Covid has created a permanent shift in consumer buying habits and it will take years, if not decades, for our supply chains to adapt to that. Many current industry professionals, who were the ones to launch global supply chains by outsourcing and offshoring operations in the 1990s, are ready to retire. Companies are desperate for new talent to create what will become global supply chain 2.0. These are not jobs driving trucks. These are high-paying office jobs managing and coordinating the movement of goods, identifying supply chain risk, establishing new supply chain partner relationships, etc. And, if you are interested in global travel on the company dime, this is the industry for you!
Our program prepares you to work in professional positions at supply chain companies (logistics providers, freight-forwarders, distributors, etc.). But supply chain expertise is needed in all industries where physical products are moved. Have a passion for fashion? Combine it with supply chain and make sure clothes get where they need to be. Interested in pharmaceuticals? Food/restaurants? All businesses use their supply chain to move products. Learn more about how to enter this exciting field.

What is Supply Chain Management?
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is management of the flow of goods, data, and finances related to a product or service, from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of the product at its final destination.
Logistics is one component of the supply chain. Digitally based SCM systems include material handling and software for all parties involved in product or service creation, order fulfillment, and information tracking - such as suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, transportation and logistics providers, and retailers.
