The global supply chain industry has transformed dramatically over the past few years. Automation, artificial intelligence, sustainability practices, and nearshoring strategies are redefining how products are produced, moved, and managed across the world. As organizations adapt to these changes, the demand for professionals who can think strategically, manage complexity, and apply technology-driven solutions continues to rise. 

At Eastern College, our Supply Chain & Operations Management and Supply Chain & Logistics programs were built to meet that need. These programs prepare students for the realities of today’s industry by combining technical training, business acumen, and hands-on experience. 

Connecting Education to Industry 

Each program was developed in collaboration with professionals and advisory committees from across the logistics, operations, and procurement sectors. This ensures that what students learn reflects the current needs of employers and prepares them to excel from day one. 

Students gain a comprehensive understanding of procurement, logistics optimization, inventory control, and operations strategy, supported by training in modern digital tools like Oracle NetSuite ERP, Microsoft Project, and Advanced Excel analytics. They also have the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications through the Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association (CIFFA) of which give graduates a competitive edge in the job market. 

Real-World Experience That Builds Confidence 

Learning at Eastern goes far beyond the classroom. Both programs include a 12-week internship, where students gain valuable experience working within logistics companies, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, or transportation hubs. This hands-on exposure helps students apply what they have learned and develop the confidence employers value most. 

Our instructors bring decades of practical experience from across the supply chain field. Their insights create a dynamic learning environment that bridges theory and real-world practice, preparing students to manage both everyday operations and complex supply chain challenges. 

A Career Path with Endless Opportunity 

Supply chain careers exist in virtually every sector, from healthcare and retail to technology, government, and beyond. Graduates from these programs can pursue roles such as: 

• Logistics Coordinator

Because the industry continues to evolve, these careers offer strong growth potential. Graduates start with a solid foundation that allows them to move into leadership roles, adapt to technological advancements, and contribute to building stronger, more resilient supply chains across Canada and internationally.
