This unique, four-year laptop and cooperative program is committed to the development of capable, creative professionals ready to embark on action-oriented, multi-dimensional careers in private and public business. These organizations are placing ever-greater emphasis on the improvement and integration of their supply chains and business processes using current business analysis methods and enterprise application technologies. A primary focus of the program is to produce graduates who, through the development of sound research and analytical skills, can clearly articulate thoughts and ideas, and develop relevant, clear, well-organized, and concise written material and presentations.

Supply chain management and technology are becoming increasingly intertwined. Graduates apply current business process improvement methodologies in order to assist in the development of more effective business and technology solutions.

This program is part of the mobile computing (laptop) initiative at Algonquin College, which better prepares students for an increasingly technology-oriented workplace. Three paid cooperative work terms are a mandatory component of the program.
