What are the opportunities in Procurement for a graduate?

Hello, I am not a business related grad, but I graduated in Geology a couple of years ago and have struggled to figure out what I want to do. I am looking seriously at the Procurement/Buying sector (not necessarily Geological related) as it is the most interesting to me. I figure I can't just jump in and apply to grad schemes as I have no experience and no one will take me. Are there opportunities for non-related grads? I am willing to start studying for the basic CIPs certificates if it helps me get into the industry, I just need to know what my chances are before I invest all the time to learn the ropes. Cheers Rob
