Program Description

The Logistics and Supply Chain Management diploma program is a comprehensive training initiative designed to equip participants with the tactical expertise and strategic mindset required to manage the seamless flow of goods and services from global suppliers to end users. In an era where global commerce relies on precision, this program focuses on the critical balance between supply and demand. 

Students will master high-demand techniques such as demand forecasting, operations planning, and inventory management, ensuring they can navigate the complexities of modern trade with confidence.

The curriculum provides a deep dive into the entire supply chain network, encompassing procurement, production, distribution, and the increasingly important field of reverse logistics. Beyond the physical movement of goods, the program emphasizes the optimization of operations to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Career Outlook & Salary in Canada

Supply chains are the invisible infrastructure of the global economy, and Canada is no different.

The scale of B.C.’s trade activity is extraordinary. The Port of Vancouver handled a record 170.4 million metric tons of cargo in 2025—an almost 8% increase from the previous record set in 2024—and port operations sustain more than 132,000 supply chain and related jobs across Canada.

Edison College offers this program both in-class at our Victoria campus and fully online — meaning students across Canada can complete this diploma and enter the supply chain workforce in their home province without relocating.
