    Career Pathway Highlight:

    Supply Chain Management:

    Did you know that job opportunities for supply chain professionals are projected to grow by 30% by 2030? In fact, supply chain management is one of the fastest-growing career fields today. Ever wondered what Supply Chain Management is all about? A supply chain covers everything that happens to a product or service—from its initial concept all the way to the point of sale. It involves managing the flow of goods, information, and finances as a product moves from creation to delivery. West Orange High School offers a CTE Program of study in Supply Chain Management. Coach JasonLamont teaches this program, which can lead to articulated college-credit through Rutgers University.

    Watch this video to learn more about the career pathway and why companies are ready to pay high salaries for people in this industry.
