Management’
The Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) Miller Global Business Center
is once again offering its Executive Certificate of Global Business
Management course to business executives, professionals, working
staff, entrepreneurs and qualified students who wish to increase
their knowledge and improve their strategies in global business
practices.
Stan Rees, [title], says the course is suitable for individuals new
to international trade and assumes no prior international
experience, but is also valuable to business managers already
involved in international trade who would benefit from an added
in-depth exposure to international marketing, trade finance,
international transportation and trade management.
“Professionals from service industries such as banking,
transportation and consultants will also find the courses useful for
their own professional development and to better understand the
needs of their international clients,” Rees adds.
The certificate consists of five sections and 30 hours of class
instruction. It includes a professional working text and supplements
designed to help guide a business into the global marketplace. The
courses are taught by experts and leading professional practitioners
and will involve developing an international business plan,
lectures, case studies, computerized international market research
and hands-on practical experience.
Classes start October 2 and end December 11. A total of 10 classes
will be held on Thursday evenings with each class lasting 3 hours (6
– 9 p.m.). (No class will be held during the Thanksgiving week.)
Classes will be held at the Miller Business Innovation Center, 9690
S. 300 West, Suite 333, Sandy.
