The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is navigating a period of transition in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many businesses are starting to turn their attention to what growth might look like in a new operating environment.

There is an opportunity for Victoria to become a smarter, more productive and competitive economy by diversifying into new markets, as we cannot expect to return to a pre-coronavirus operating environment.

The changing economic landscape and the resulting evolution of business development, target markets and supply chain logistics have put the spotlight on internationalisation in the APAC region.

Australia is in a unique position to grow its reputation as an export powerhouse. If you have ever thought about exporting, or want to refresh your skills and knowledge, now is the time to look at what programs and services can help your business grow internationally.

Delivered in partnership with the Global Trade Professionals Alliance (GTPA), Global Victoria has recently launched the Export Skills Program with four key streams designed to help businesses of all sizes, locations and exporting experience.

Export Skills Program

The Export Skills Program aims to help Victorian businesses impacted by COVID-19 to grow and develop their export skills and capabilities. Free to attend, the program provides online training, webinars and face-to-face workshops across four streams: Export 101, eCommerce, Virtual Trade Mission Training and Freight Training.

The program will take participants through the export life cycle – from the must-haves of paperwork and logistics through to the finer details of establishing business partnerships in other countries.

The Export Skills Program is open to all Victorian companies regardless of their size and location and whether new to exporting or experienced companies looking to refresh skills and capabilities. Registrations are now open on Global Victoria’s website.
