Learning to manage the exporting process is a valuable skill for individuals working in firms of all sizes from entrepreneurial ventures to large corporations. Selling products and services internationally offers an excellent opportunity for firms to reach and expand their markets, achieve greater profit margins, and achieve economies of scale.

This Road Map to Exporting program is designed for the novice exporting student and for companies that want to expand their exporting skills who are seeking a focused and supportive learning experience. The course is organized by the District Export Council of Southern California (DECSC) who are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce for their professional expertise in exporting. The course is organized into a series of four interactive workshops, facilitated by experts in every aspect of exporting, who will share their real-life experiences.

Session 3, which will be held March 5, will focus on Finance and Risk Mitigation, including a presentation on trade finance tools by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM).

Successful completion with full participation in the course, which includes a market entry research project, will result in a Certificate from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
