Ready to explore the real world of supply chain? Internships and job shadowing can help you gain experience, meet industry pros, and build your resume!
🔍 Where to look for Supply Chain opportunities to gain exposure and experience:
📌 Internships – For 2025, internships are predicted to be very competitive given current economic conditions, and so there may not be as many postings on job boards.
Job Board Example:
So, if you’re not having good luck with Job Boards for supply chain internship, I suggest you: (i) COMPANY SEARCH: Identify 20 Supply Chain companies and search their Sites; (2) CONTACT SEARCH: Search online for a contact at each of those 20 companies and introduce yourself to request a meeting and internship opportunity; and (3) BE FLEXIBLE: Some experience is better than no experience. Be open to 5-10 hours/week internships (UNPAID or PAID) to gain the experience, exposure and resume content.
📌 Job Shadowing – Spend a day with a supply chain professional and see careers in action.
📌 Online Programs – Some companies offer virtual supply chain training.
