This video features the Northland CAPS Global Business & Logistics strand, which connects high school students with mentors and career exposure in business, marketing, entrepreneurship, supply chain, and more.
The Global Business & Logistics strand is for student associates who are detail-oriented, enjoy problem solving, and want to learn how businesses increase their profit margin.
This includes organizing and managing people, projects, facilities and supplies to compete in an ever-changing market with both local and global competition. Whether you are interested in a career with an established company or organization or intent on creating the next great product or service, our program will connect you with the local leaders and mentors to help prepare you for a successful career.
