Careers
Logistics and supply chain work involves the safe delivery of goods and services to consumers. As Greece is gradually becoming a regional hub of logistics and transportation, all types of businesses, big and small, need logistics managers to help with inventory and accounts. Some of the more common job roles within this discipline include analyst, inventory control manager, logistics engineer, production manager, purchasing manager, supply chain manager, systems support manager, customer service manager, global logistics manager and operations director.

A logistics manager will need to be familiar with various software programmes, as that is the most common way to keep track of product movement.

This programme is aimed at people currently working in emergency services or in associate professions who wish to get distinguished for entry into or to secure an advancement to their career in this exciting and highly demanding sector. The skills students gain make them attractive to NGOs involved in crisis (such as the Red Cross or Refugee support), international bodies (e.g. United Nations), public organisations (such as armed forces, civil defense, central and local government), emergency services and other health professions.
