We have completed our first Export Training Class for Small Businesses as part of our “Selling to the World” initiative. The Export Training Program was led by Ron Drozd, WTCGP Director, Export Programs and Services with the assistance of the WTCGP team and Beth Pomper, Director of International Business for Delaware. Company executives were taught how to develop an export strategy, find qualified buyers, navigate logistics and shipping, and learn about export finance, International Business Culture and Etiquette, and more. All classes included presentations by experts in the field.
“The Selling to the World program is providing the specialized export training to enable Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, including many Minority and Women-owned businesses, to gain the exporting knowledge and technical expertise to market, sell and ship to international buyers. As our participants become more adept at exporting and increase global sales, the result will be a boost in their production of local goods and services ultimately leading to job growth in these SME companies,” says Ron Drozd.
Each participating company receives a one year WTCGP membership and will be given a dedicated international trade specialist for continued one-on-one counseling. Companies registered in Pennsylvania will also receive access to the PA Office of International Business Development (OIBD) services through the WTCGP (a Regional Export Network partner).
At a cocktail reception to celebrate the completion of the last training class, each company received a certificate of completion presented by Ron Drozd and Tony Simonetta, Interim President, WTCGP.
