Many also hold the Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) designation and maintain strong ties with the business community, which may assist you with obtaining a co-op work term.

If logistics are different parts of the body, the supply chain is the brain. In the fast-growing field of supply chain management, you’ll oversee and coordinate purchase of materials, production, storage and delivery of products. Master how to manage business endeavours, balance supply and demand and gain skills key to any organization's success.

Take a creative approach to resolving business issues
The slightest changes to a company's materials, inventory, transportation or marketing strategy can have huge ripple effects on the rest of the business. Learn how different departments depend on each other and use creative thinking to come up with solutions that benefit the entire company.

Enjoy collaborative and hands-on learning
Today's work world has changed. Top employability skills now include critical thinking, collaboration, leadership, communication and entrepreneurship.
