How to become a procurement assistant?

A career as a procurement assistant requires you have a high school diploma or GED certificate and at least some prior job experience in a supply chain role. Some companies prefer you to have more extensive qualifications, such as an associate or bachelor’s degree in supply chain management or a similar field of study, coupled with procurement experience. You must have excellent verbal and written communication skills, a collaborative attitude, the ability to multitask, and some sales and negotiation skills. You also need moderate computer proficiency, especially with digital documents and spreadsheets.
