Governor, MT World Trade Center Announce Global Trade Certificate Program

In order to expand Montana's capacity in international trade, the Governor's office of Economic Development and the Montana World Trade Center have started the Global Trade Certificate program. The program will train and certify individuals, businesses, and institutions in the practice of global trade.

"If Montana is to compete in the global market place, more Montanans must develop the needed skills to conduct international trade activities. The specialized skills that are required of banks, attorneys, accountants, government and business people are the target of the Global Trade Certificate Program," said Governor Brian Schweitzer.

"This program could not come at a better time. With 20% of Montana jobs effected by global business it is necessary for intuitions and individual to educate themselves so they can further support and develop global business in Montana", Arnie Sherman, Executive Director of the Montana World Trade Center.

The program targets Business professionals, entrepreneurs, accountants, bankers, attorneys, small businesses, including Native American businesses and communities, Economic Development Organizations, Small Business Development Centers (SBDC), Certified Regional Development Corporations (CRDC), and other organizations working with businesses and trade professionals.
