Seeking Advice on Transitioning from Marketing to Purchase Department and Requesting Training Guidance

Hello, friends, I have been working in the Marketing Department for the past five years. Now, I would like to transition to the Purchase Department. Additionally, I am interested in receiving corporate training in subjects such as Purchase Management, Stores Management, Inventory Management, Warehouse Management, Vendor Management, etc.

Could you please provide me with a format for a request letter to change departments?

Thank you.

Regards

Dear Sir, Thank you for your reply. I have completed all the homework for the Purchase department and am also pursuing an MBA in materials management. I am eagerly anticipating a well-crafted application requesting a department change that will persuade the management to approve the switch. Looking forward to your response.

Thanks!

The proposed draft of the letter could be as below:

Date: -

To,

The Managing Director

________ (name and address of your company)

Request for the Change of Department

Dear Sir,

I have been working in this company since _____ (your DOJ). My present designation is _______ since ______ (date on which you acquired this designation).

I have a desire to pursue my career in the field of Materials Management. As a part of my career development, I am pursuing my MBA in Material Management from ______ (name of University or Institute). I expect to complete this course by _____ (month and year).

My present job is not consistent with my career aspirations. Therefore, I request you to change my department from Marketing to Purchase. I have been adding value to the best of my capacities in the field of marketing. If my department is changed, then I assure that this value addition will continue as ever.

I will be obliged to you if you effect this change.

Warm regards,

Vikrant Kadam

Your company may ask you to work with a lower salary because of the change of department. Are you prepared for this contingency?

All the best!
