I started at Mainfreight, the Young Leaders programme puts you on the floor and helps you learn from the ground up! Hard grind but worth it and you get exposed to things you normally wouldn’t in a typical supply chain graduate role
I started with an internship as SC analyst at 27 ( 0 background in Supply chain) and started moving up the ranks. I did a few certifications such as CSCP & Six sigma later on to gain more knowledge.
Thanks really appreciate!!!!!
Hi
Personally i realized to last long a good balance life with profession of supply chain would be to go for some practical field development and study about small pickups learning supply chain efficiency in early days of career.
Some industries to gain more practical experience with good job availability :
1: FMCG Sector
2: Manufacturing Field
3: Home Care Industry
4: E- Commerce
5: Automobile Industry
Enjoy, I think it should be helpful!
I got my foot in the door by networking and researching different companies to find out what roles they had available. I also took courses to gain a better understanding of the supply chain industry and the skills needed to be successful in this field.
You could get an entry level internship or position if you have a degree in something very analytical or in engineering. A lot of supply chain is in building an optimal network based on a lot of data. I don't really think technical writing qualifies...Alternatively, you can get a job in something on the business end and transfer into supply chain through networking.
First off, I'd recommend networking. Reach out to people in the industry, set up informational interviews to learn more about the field or even ask for advice on how to get started. Secondly, start small. Any job in the supply chain industry will give you the experience you need to move up the ladder. Finally, I started out as an intern and it was the perfect way to get my foot in the door. It allowed me to gain valuable skills and experience that I wouldn't have otherwise.

I reached out to people in the industry to get advice and expand my network. I also volunteered at a local warehouse to gain hands-on experience in the field. It was through these efforts that I was able to land my first job in supply chain.
