I had no luck finding a job before joining the ACCES Supply Chain Connection program. However, within a month and a half of completing the program, I received a job offer! The program helped with improving the cover letter, resume and interview techniques. Also, the program included a Supply Chain learning component and a real-life project, which exposed us to a new software relevant to my sector of work. We were able to connect with many speakers and mentors from the job market, which was a plus. Thank you ACCES Employment!
