Education and further training for purchasing professionals
As is the case for so many other departments, well-qualified specialists are also hard to find in purchasing, which makes companies looking for them try even harder to polish their image as an employer. Further training is an investment that always pays off in the end. The aim is to discover new talents and train employees to meet the needs of the organisation.
A career in purchasing is not always as straightforward as in marketing or HR management. However, the traditional Swiss route via federally-recognised exams is one option. Often, individuals making a career change also find the ideal position for themselves in procurement. For most of them, gaining a sense of satisfaction from a job that fulfils them rather than the job title is the primary objective. In addition to purchasing-related skills, employees should increasingly possess personal qualities such as analytical thinking and initiative. Assertive individuals with outstanding communication skills are most likely to excel in this type of job, as it requires intensive contact with other company departments and suppliers.
