Global Supply Chain Management

BCIT’s Global Supply Chain Management Diploma equips students with skills to seize international business opportunities, foster trade partnerships, and oversee global supply chains. Students learn effective international negotiation techniques and enhance the distribution of goods and services both domestically and internationally. Students will gain the fundamental skills of both creating international business opportunities and managing its global supply chain. Graduates travel the world, establish trade partnerships, and improve the movement and distribution of goods and services in Canada and abroad.

In addition to the specific knowledge taught about global trade and supply chain, students will learn finance, marketing, project management, data analysis, and business communication skills. Major projects challenge students to develop their time management and teamwork skills. Business graduates are known for their efficiency both individually and for their teams.

The Global Trade and Transportation Management program is guided by a Professional Advisory Committee composed of industry veterans and experts. The program regularly hosts industry events such as networking, guest speaker, field trips, and industry seminar to enrich student’s connection and engagement to the international business and logistics industry.
