International Trade Training

The world is becoming a smaller place. Not only are large corporations exporting, but also SME’s. A lot of them. These businesses are involved in many aspects of international trade, including: outsourcing, global supply chains, international subsidiaries, etc.

If you’re a domestic business: How do you know when it’s time to expand to a foreign market? What expertise are required? What types of risk mitigation tools are available? 

The Certified International Trade Professional (CITP) Designation through The Forum for International Trade Training (FITT) provides the ins and outs of international trade. The program allows individuals and businesses to fully comprehend all aspects of trade.

Learning topics include:

International Marketing, International Trade Logistics (Supply Chain), International Finance, International Law, International Distribution, International Research, Cultures, Geo-politics

I received my international trade training at Algonquin College (through the Business Administration, International Business major). I would highly recommend the program to all considering global expansion or joining a global business.

I will be posting excerpts from projects I worked on, covering various areas of international trade  including an International Marketing Plan, a SWOT Analysis, and more. Stay tuned, please.
