What to Expect

Algonquin College is proud to provide a diverse and dynamic student experience. Check out the highlights below to get a sense of what to expect as a student in the Supply Chain Management – Global program.

Success Stories and Testimonials

“This program empowered me to reconnect with my childhood roots, as my father was a businessman. With a strong foundation in Supply Chain Management from an early age, I capitalized on this program to enhance my understanding of its various components and effectively apply that knowledge in my career. It has absolutely given me a competitive advantage in the Supply Chain Industry.

Additionally, professors’ dedication to student success and willingness to provide guidance made a significant impact on my education and professional development.”
– Shikha Chowdhary, Graduate

“My previous role had a strong supply chain component but did not encompass the supply chain as a whole. The program helped me gain an in-depth holistic understanding of how different supply chain components are woven into each other and how each component plays a role in the ‘bigger picture’ functioning of a global supply chain. For example, I did not, up until the course, have any exposure to the financial management and accounting concepts used in supply chains, which the program helped gain an insight into.

As I am now an independent agent, it is my responsibility to critically examine aspects of the supply chain (when discussing deliveries with a customer, for example) and anticipate hurdles and challenges and their potential solutions. The global trade landscape (current and evolving) illustrates the importance of this subject, especially given the massive amounts of volatility created in global supply chains by the current government of the USA. the ability to be able to analyze different facets of a supply chain and identify, evaluate and mitigate risks through creating effective alternatives, may in fact be a key area of providing competitive advantage to us.”
