The logistics and supply chain management sector plays a significant role in Singapore's economy. The growth in this sector creates tremendous opportunities for logistics and supply chain professionals in Singapore, but requires them to acquire new knowledge, up-skill, or re-skill themselves.

The Graduate Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (GCLSCM) programme addresses this skills gap in the logistics and supply chain management industry, and aims to prepare students with relevant skill sets to seize these opportunities. Students will be equipped with various strategies and tools to improve the performance of the organisations' supply chain.

The programme will facilitate networking opportunities for students in the ASEAN region and beyond. The programme is suitable for professionals working in the logistics or supply chain industry or those wishing to switch careers to the industry. It is also targeted at providing upgrading opportunities for SUSS's alumni.
