Post-Baccalaureate Certificate - Supply Chain Management (Co-op)

This program provides students with foundational background in supply chain management (SCM). Building upon the students’ general baccalaureate academic experience, the program begins with a solid foundation in communications and business. The program then goes on to deliver introductory courses in the 3 main areas of SCM: procurement, operations and logistics; before students embark on their first Co-op work term. Throughout the program emphasis is placed on the inter-connective nature of SCM, the use of analytics to inform decision-making, and on acquiring knowledge and skills identified through industry consultation.

The Co-op is an integral component of this program that is designed not only to provide a period of productive employment in the Canadian workplace, but also enables students to apply classroom theory and skills to that employment. Students will experience real-world business practices and return to the classroom with new perspectives gained from their employment. Students will be able to perform multifaceted business functions in occupational areas such as purchasing, operations, logistics and customer and information services, financial support and project coordination.
