Whether you are competing with the world’s best to win international contracts or facing increasing global competition at home, it is critical for business leaders to understand the skills and competencies needed to go global.
In its 50 plus years of training through the Australian Institute of Export, the Export Council of Australia (ECA) has worked with a number of companies big and small to help answer the tough questions – Are we export ready? What are incoterms? Where do I find a logistics expert quickly? and one of the worst, My buyer seems to have gone missing, how will I get paid?
ECA’s Educational Pathway takes businesses from the stage of just getting started on to conquering new markets. The Educational Pathway structure provides an articulated learning pathway that ensures that participants gain practical skills and knowledge of procedures associated with international business.
The ECA has partnered with the Centre for Customs and Excise Studies (CCES) and Charles Sturt University to deliver international trade education.
This partnership means participation in the ECA’S International Business Program can be the first step towards completing the Advanced Diploma of International Business Management, more details can be found here.
And the ECA also offers discounts to its members.
If you are new to international business, taking on new challenges globally and need assistance, or would like to upskill in new areas, contact education@export.org.au to learn more.
