The Broward County Office of Economic Development (OEO) and Broward College's Institute for Economic Development are proud to announce the beginning of the second International Emerging Leadership Certificate Program, which offers small business access to formal training on international trade and investments, followed by an opportunity to participate in an optional trade mission.
Broward College has been a partner in the economic development of Broward County and is well-known for its workforce and industry-based training opportunities. The certificate program evolved from a series of international business development workshops conducted by OED over the past four years. The new Broward College program will replace the workshop series, "institutionalizing" a key initiative of the Board of County Commissioners' international business program.
The first 12-week certificate program will begin September 17, 2008. The semester will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30p.m. on Wednesdays at the Broward College Willis Holcombe Center Campus in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Course topics include:
Basics of Shipping
• Methods of Payment and Financing
• Terms of Sales, Quotes and Pricing
• Legal
• Vendor Compliance
• Logistics Planning and Supply Chain Basics
• Security Issues and Compliance
• Marketing Products Internationally
• Trade Policy and Agreements Barriers
• Protocol and Mission Planning
Registration for the full program is currently underway. To register online, visit http://www.ce.broward.edu/, click "Sign up for CE Classes" and select International Trade. For more information, call 954-201-2204.
