I’m really glad I chose Centennial College’s Business Supply Chain program. The courses covered everything I needed to know—from logistics to global supply chain strategies. The professors were awesome and made the lessons super relatable, which helped me adjust to studying in Canada.

I loved how the program balanced theory with hands-on projects, and it gave me a solid foundation in the field. Plus, the diverse student community made it easy to connect with people from all over. Now, I feel ready to kick off my career in supply chain management. Definitely recommend this program if you want practical skills and a great learning experience in Canada!
