We live in a global Marketplace. In order to survive in this environment, businesses must be able to operate outside their own borders. This program is all about how to do that by importing, exporting, selling and working with businesses around the world. The dynamics of the global market require someone with an ability to roll with changes, an understanding of international regulations, and a respect for the traditions and intricacies of other cultures.

In this program, you'll develop professional international business skills including marketing plan development, researching, logistics management, as well as many other key skills. We'll explore doing business in countries such as South America (i.e. Mexico) and three awakened giants; China, India, and The Gulf Cooperation council Countries. You'll learn more than rules and regulations; you'll learn how social customs differ in other countries. You'll also have the opportunity to gain a working knowledge of Spanish; more than 43 million people in the US, our biggest trading partner, have it as their first language. With the implementation of NAFTA Canadian trade with Spanish speaking countries will also increase. Living in a global marketplace means you need to be a global businessperson - this program will help you to do that and become an invaluable asset to any company, whether they're in international trade or not.
