There are many courses but it prepares you for this world, it is something you have to live with, the most important thing is that among your soft skills you must be a person with the ability to learn quickly.

For the supply chain in the logistics part, it is essential to learn about SAP, it is the complete suite and the one that is most used in this industry and even more so in this arm is logistics.

As advice I recommend you do these three courses to start:
SAP Courses.
Sales Courses.
Manufacturing Courses.
After getting the job you can continue training or wait to see if the company trains you.

Good courses for the supply chain are not cheap, but they are very functional because if you take a course in the right place, many job options open up for you, so decide well at which university you will take the system, and of course, I recommend the one from Logistics applied to supply chain businesses.

Artificial intelligence is positioning itself better and better for the supply chain and specifically for the logistics sector there are many courses you can take, I recommend this https://www.getsmarter.com/products/mit-sloan-artificial-intelligence

E-commerce logistics and Last Mile, is a course that I always recommend to people starting to work in my logistics department: https://www.classcentral.com/course/e-commerce-logistics-and-last- mile-24331

I graduated with a degree in Operations Management. I would say supply chain management and forecasting were very helpful classes
