DeGroote is committed to providing students with a comprehensive understanding of various business disciplines. This week, the Student Services (SS) office is spotlighting Operations Management — a dynamic and essential area of business that impacts every industry.
Operations Management focuses on delivering value to customers by optimizing business processes, ensuring products or services are provided on time, at the right price and with high quality. Students in this field gain skills in data analysis, supply chain management and process optimization, with opportunities to specialize through electives like business analytics and logistics.
To help you learn more, the SS office has launched a series of engaging Operations videos on the official DeGroote YouTube channel and website. These videos explore a variety of key topics that bring the world of Operations to life, including:
- Careers in Operations: Explore roles in supply chain management, logistics, operations consulting, and project management. Learn what employers are looking for and how to stand out in the field.
- Certifications and Skills: Understand the value of certifications and how they align with your coursework and career path.
- Clubs and Case Competitions: Discover how getting involved with clubs like the DeGroote Operations and Analytics Association or competing in business case challenges can expand your network and practical experience.
