A career in supply chain automation provides quality jobs today and offers strong potential for growth in the future. Supply chain automation includes the use of digital technologies to improve efficiencies, connect applications and streamline processes within supply chain operations. This career field is rapidly growing; more than 72,000 jobs in supply chain automation have been created since February 2020, and an additional 770,000 jobs are expected to be created through 2025.
