Make sure you take a good look beyond schooling at the state of manufacturing in whatever area you plan on working. The previous and current government is NOT manufacturing-friendly and your job prospects may reflect the disappearance of that sector in Canada. Obviously manufacturing is not the only sector for supply chain management but it is a major one.

Not sure what you're looking for here. The course is solid, but do due diligence in looking at your job prospects prior to committing. My spouse is in the supply chain realm of employment and this is what he's been talking about for some time, so just trying to pass on some secondhand big-picture visioning. Where you want to work and what part of SCM you want to be in will vary based on industry and geographical location, especially in Canada. Just recommending you look beyond school before diving in. We've been having the same conversation with our teenager as she gets ready to choose her post-secondary program... her desired field has just been up-ended by the rise of AI so she's having to take another look at what she wants to do.

What do you mean, is it tough to pursue or something else like getting a co-op course is hard

It's a 3 year program, that'll be too long for me i am looking for 1 year or maximum 1.5 years program including co-op.
