I hold a supply chain degree and some warehouse experience. Transitioning from logistics to a data-focused inventory role, I'm seeking free or affordable courses for beginners.
My personal experience transitioning from a warehouse role to a more analytical inventory management position taught me the importance of a solid foundation in supply chain fundamentals coupled with data analysis. I found that auditing courses on platforms like Coursera or edX – focusing on inventory systems and data visualization techniques – provided a good balance between theory and practical knowledge. Free course audits allowed me to understand real-world applications even without a full certification, making them suitable for an entry-level role transition.
