I hold an Honors degree in Supply Chain. Currently in an internship program. I'm from South Africa and the field is not that much recognized yet. Hoping it'll grow in the years to come💪🏾

I moved from Supply chain finance as intercompany Analyst to Procurement Analyst role so I'm agree with Trent that this movement can be done - however is not that easy for finance person to get into procurement. For what I'm seeing a lot of hiring manager, even with internal candidate, still keep asking procurement experience without see the motivation that candidates have; viceversa a Procurement person is always welcomed on finance world .

Other things that has to be analyze mostly for European market is that there are not entry level procurement position so it's starting to become hard to start in that field but it's full of Finance entry level position. So my questions for Trent are 1) are you agree on what I analyzed above ? 2) which finance position you suggest to take it at the begining to go closer to procurement, is Accounts payable good enough or is better "Financial analyst " role ?

Thanks a lot for your intresting videos :)

Hey, I had done my bachelor's in civil engineering but now I realised that I don't want to do core technical jobs...so now I am planning to do 1 year of post graduate diploma in supply chain management from Humber College (canada-Toronto) and 1 year of pg diploma in project management.
By this pg diploma, can I get job in any of the industry in Canada (toronto) in different supply chain job roles like procurement, purchase, logistics and dispatch and inventory management ?

Hi sir... Is procurement is good if one is not having responsibilities related to selecting buyer and all? What one has to do to have good career there? If your contact is minimal with supplier wrt quotation, supplier selection etc. Does it really add value if all this is not included?
