Do you want to enhance your knowledge about Logistics and Supply Chain Management? Would you like to build rapport with professionals and get the latest insights about the industry before your graduation? If your answer to these questions is yes – NOVUS is the programme to choose!
After joining the programme, I was invited to NOVUS Careers Fair where NOVUS partners introduced many impressive placement and graduate schemes opportunities. It was also the place where I first learned about a very interesting Process Engineering placement offered by my future employer, Kuehne+Nagel. Working in one of the Kuehne+Nagel’s Logistics Control Centres, I was part of Integrated Logistics business unit. It was a great opportunity to learn about Digital Control Tower, Kuehne+Nagel’s 4th party logistics solution that helps plan and manage end-to-end supply chains for customers of various industries. It was a fascinating journey through which I joined different teams, worked on many exciting projects for our customers and learned a lot about Process Engineering, Operations Management and Project Management.
If you want to be at the heart of digital revolution of today addressing some of the most complex issues in our society, Logistics and Supply Chain Management field is paved with innovation, challenge and complex problem-solving. To achieve success, drive and passion is not enough. You want to be surrounded by great partners and I believe NOVUS is one of them.
