Supply Chain Management A.A. & Certificate Program


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!
