There are countless job options in the areas of trade, logistics, supply chain management, and transportation. The talents, hobbies, and personal choices of a graduate will have a significant impact on his or her future path. It will also depend on the company the person decides to work for in terms of its size, nature, geographic reach, and organizational structure.
Graduates will have plenty of opportunities to start their careers with manufacturers, retailers, carriers, third-party logistics firms, or any other business organization thanks to the broad base of business skills, understanding of the logistics process, and relevant training experience that CITL provides for its students. A graduate will probably start as an analyst, first-line supervisor, or management trainee. As they develop their managerial skills, they can advance to jobs with more responsibility. The graduate could also choose to pick up skills in other company departments. Flexibility is one of the secrets to success in this area.
