Purchasing clerk: Further education, training, information, self-test, overview of schools and offers

Purchasing clerks are responsible for administrative and organizational work in the area of purchasing management. For example, they are responsible for the procurement of products or goods and for optimizing purchasing processes.

As a result of globalization, "global sourcing" has become very important. Nowadays, numerous products and goods are sourced from the world market, i.e. from all over the world. A Purchasing Clerk should therefore have in-depth knowledge of foreign languages and be a communicative person who enjoys interacting with other people.

Furthermore, purchasing clerks are responsible for supplier management and are the first point of contact for external suppliers as well as internal company departments. Purchasing controlling, price negotiations and contract negotiations are also important areas of responsibility when dealing with suppliers. In a few weeks, the clerks learn everything important about the value chain and day-to-day business, such as market research, price analysis and basic legal knowledge.
