“
When I was a student at Deakin University studying for
a Masters in Information Systems, my professor referred to
GS1 Australia and suggested that I visit their Supply Chain
Knowledge Centre. At university I was specialising in
supply chain management and attended a lecture by a
GS1 Australia staff member. She suggested I undertake
the GS1 Certificate course that was being offered
to all students. I was very pleased when I was
awarded a high distinction after completing the
course and felt the knowledge I gained gave me
greater depth in the study of my course.
Year In Review

During my last semester I was offered
an internship at GS1 Australia and the
comprehensive program that I undertook
has certainly helped me in my current
role. I was able to appreciate the
bigger picture and, because I could
see things in the broader context,
I was able to identify a problem
in the supply chain and come up
with a solution to rectify it.
I can better visualise supply chain
infrastructures and their driving
mechanisms in my business. It’s because
of this broader understanding that I can
identify, investigate and develop counter
measures on range of issues across our
business, within my scope.
