"Basically, students come into this [Business Operations program] not knowing a great deal, in some cases, about business operations management — particularly those students who come in directly from high school," says Richard Hadden, an instructor at Centennial College's School of Business. "Fifty per cent of our students come in directly from the workforce and they're very familiar with business operations. But when they leave, they'll leave with an equal level of knowledge. The truth is there are not enough business operations managers in Canada. When our students graduate, 90 per cent of our students get high paying jobs within six months of graduation."
This testimonial from Richard Hadden not only demonstrates that this Business Operations program is suited for anyone — regardless of experience — but also that there is a demand for those trained in this area. In fact, graduates go onto work as: quality control technicians, inventory analysts, buyers, planning and scheduling coordinators, and logistics coordinators. Additionally, graduates may find careers in specific areas such as: operations planning and scheduling, purchasing, logistics, supply chain management, quality, productivity improvement, direct labour supervision and other key operations responsibilities.
Students of the Business Operations program also have the option to pursue further education upon graduation by applying to articulated programs with selected universities, institutes and professional associations. These partnerships allow graduates to apply academic credit towards further study. The Business Operation program's partners are: Algoma University, Davenport University, Royal Roads University, University of New Brunswick.
In order to get students to the point where they are fully prepared for whatever they may choose to do after graduation, the Business Operations program covers a number of vital topics through hands-on projects and assignments that simulate those undertaken in actual business settings.
Before they begin to learn advanced Business Operations program topics, students first become comfortable with general business topics by attending three semesters of courses that are common among other programs in the School of Business. Once they are comfortable, Business Operations program students go on to master: operations planning and scheduling, purchasing, logistics, supply chain management, quality, productivity improvement, direct labour supervision and other key operations responsibilities, generating recurring income, increasing the value of business and securing the income and value of the business, analyzing business processes to improve productivity, developing and implementing quality management programs, applying team approach principles to analyze operations problems and developing solutions as well as enhancing the performance of the firm's supply chain.
To apply for the Business Operations program, applicants are required to have completed at minimum an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent or be 19 years of age or older. They are also required to have Compulsory English 12C or U or skills assessment, or equivalent and Math 11C, M or U, or 12C or U, or skills assessment, or equivalent.
