Over 800 students have participated in the specialized supply chain programs administered by ZLC, coming from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.
Currently ZLC graduates are working in over 45 countries in supply chain positions, ranging from a Supply Chain Analyst and Global Demand Planner to the Deputy Minister for Sectoral Planning, a Global Supply Chain Director, CEO and Professors at top companies and universities. The small class size at ZLC fosters a strong sense of community in our students, that not only lasts well beyond graduation, but continues to grow throughout their professional careers. The graduates therefore have a very strong and loyal professional network of alumni to tap into.
As part of the MIT SCALE Network, ZLC’s educational programs are designed to prepare the supply chain leaders of the future and have provided a highly skilled workforce to the companies established in PLAZA, in the region of Aragon and across the globe.
