MITC offers 'Global U' training for businesses with international ambitions

Courtesy of Maine International Trade Center Wade Merritt, president of the Maine International Trade Center, said that MITC's new 'Global U' education series will help business professionals gain knowledge needed to grow their companies' international sales.

The Maine International Trade Center is launching a new ‘Global U’ education series to give small businesses a leg up on global success.

Seminars will start Wednesday, Sept. 19, and run through May 2019, on a wide range of topics such as exporting, international marketing online and global social media and cyber security, at three levels, MITC  said in a news release on Wednesday.

Entry Level 1 seminars are meant for those new to export and import who are still determining if the time is right to tap into international markets. Mid Level 2 offerings are for those with some export experience and will include more advanced, in-depth content on topics like international documentation.

And Experienced Level 3 training is for people with businesses that sell a significant portion of their portion of their goods or services abroad.

MITC President Wade Merritt said that while MITC has offered trade education to businesses since it was created in 1996, training programs at different levels are new this year, “providing a path for a business professional and a company to continue gaining knowledge needed to grow their international sales.”

He added: “With all the recent media coverage on tariffs, Maine companies may have more questions than ever about how to best navigate international markets.”

The full schedule with course descriptions can be found at MITC's website.
