International Trade Program Debuts

Monday, September 12th, 2005

In response to the need to take advantage of the increasing globalization of our economy, North Seattle Community College has introduced a new certificate  in International Trade.  The new 24-credit certificate is designed for people who are interested in a career in international business and trade, a growing focus in the Northwest. It is designed to help people meet the workplace demands of the local community and the economic challenges of the global marketplace
 
The International Trade Certificate Program will include the courses

“Events around the world, especially in the newly enlarged European Union, continually chronicle the need for an increased awareness of global business and trade,” notes Verna Swanljung, program coordinator.    

“We live in an era of globalization:  the trend toward greater economic, cultural, political, and technological interdependence among national institutions and national economies.  This phenomenon has brought with it an increased demand for knowledgeable professionals who can talk the language of globalization and bridge the gap that separates nations and neighborhoods. Our program will provide that expertise.”

For more information on the new certificate, contact the Business, Engineering, and Information Technologies Division at (206) 527-3707 or email Verna Swanljung at vswanlju@sccd.ctc.edu.
