Implications for Human Resources or the Labour Market

Partnership trends and training trends support the growth potential in international competition.

Small- and medium-sized businesses need to be equipped with the skills required to compete in the lucrative markets outside Canada's borders.

FITT is establishing national professional training standards in international business to yield qualified and certified graduates.

Five programs are available. Pilot courses were introduced in five provinces across Canada in 1993. They end with a locally written national examination.

Specialization needed in the following areas:

  • global entrepreneurship;
  • international marketing;
  • international trade finance;
  • international physical distribution, international trade research;
  • legal aspects of international trade; and
  • international trade management.
