Hi Jonathan,

Data Analytics is essential for every company today. It's key to understanding current business performance and planning for the future. In Operations and Supply Chain Management, there are many roles like production manager, vendor management, and operations running. You can also expand into areas like Risk Management with some extra learning.

Here's what you can do:

1. Identify companies you're interested in working for.
2. Research open positions on job sites like Indeed.com and SmartRecruiters.
3. Reach out to these companies to learn about job opportunities.

Getting into a company early will help you grow your skills and make the most of your education. Best of luck!

Kimberly’s Answer

Supply chain and operations offer a lot of exciting choices. I started in the warehouse and eventually moved into operations management. I learned so much while working in the warehouse. I spent most of my career in operations and people management, exploring different parts of the business to understand the processes better, which really helped me. Once I achieved my goals in those roles, I decided to switch to procurement, another part of the business. My skills from operations were really valuable in my new role and gave me a unique viewpoint. It's a good idea to research the areas you're most interested in so you can develop the right skills, but remember, there are many options within supply chain!
