As part of our supply chain internship programs, learners will work on a variety of projects tailored to the specific needs and objectives of our partner companies or organizations. These projects may include inventory management, transportation planning, procurement, supply chain optimization, and data analysis.
Learners will gain a broad range of skills that are essential for a successful career in supply chain management.
