Innovative Supply Chain Management Has Never Been More in Demand
With the increased complexities and expansive scope of today’s business landscape, effective supply chain management has become crucial to business success and the resilience of the economy. Demand for supply chain roles has risen sharply in recent years, and New England is regarded as a “hot spot” with supply chain job postings, employment, and compensation higher than the national average. Despite the urgent need for this expertise, businesses are struggling to find supply chain professionals with adequate knowledge and skills. Both national studies and UConn’s own relationships with supply chain leaders at major CT companies have confirmed strong demand for supply chain talent, especially those with skills in analytics, digitalization, and integrated planning. UConn’s MS in Supply Chain Management is specifically designed for our graduates to thrive in this opportunity-rich environment.
