Hello!

I have an undergrad degree in International Business and 3 years of communication and service delivery experience. Since graduating school I had an interest in supply chain and now am ready to try and pivot into it.

Is there any specific education or certifications I should try to obtain to pivot into it? I was looking at a post graduate certificate in supply chain. Do you think this is worth it? How do you recommend pivoting into it? Thanks!

You likely already have enough skills for a good position in the field of Supply Chain Management. Lean 6 Sigma Certification would be beneficial for some higher level positions at prominent companies. You might want to look into that depending on which job role you desire to pivot into.
