Invest NI To Host Export Skills Workshops

Invest NI has announced an Export Skills Workshops, offering 'all you need to know about exporting, in handy, practical, great value workshops'.

Announcing the workshops, Invest NI said: "Exporting can transform your business, so at a cost of just £75 per person, per workshop, our one-day Export Skills and Knowledge Workshops are not to be missed."

The workshops can help your business:

• break into new markets

• develop your exporting strategy

• establish core export knowledge

The series of one-day export skills and knowledge workshops will provide practical advice and guidance on a range of export issues.

There is also an optional half-day personal mentoring session with the consultant trainer (one session per company, per workshop attended).

The workshops are suitable for businesses of all sizes, whether currently exporting or planning to export. The workshops offer inexperienced exporters the opportunity to develop exporting skills and help the more experienced exporters to refresh and update their knowledge of best practice in this area.

The workshops take place from March to June 2017 and are divided into two key areas: core export skills and essential export skills.

The Core Export Knowledge workshops will give you an understanding of the key success factors involved in exporting. They will help you make the right export decisions and you will go away with the tools to develop an export action plan.
