IOE International Trade - Exporting Excellence through Education

For Employers

The basic commercial fact of developing and maintaining successful business overseas is the requirement for possessing adequately qualified and trained personnel.

In many instances they can, in themselves, be a strategic element of your competitive edge - they will work better and smarter than competitors.

The Institute of Export's Professional Qualifications are widely recognised as providing both employers and employees with the necessary international business practice linked to satisfying career planning and development. They enhance the reputation of the employer both in the eyes of participating staff and the commercial world in general.

The Professional Qualifications can provide quantifiable benchmarks for measuring employee performance and structuring career expectations.

Graduates can be found working initially in Export Sales, Marketing and Support Administration functions and are usually better able to transfer easily to other Export functions.

For many of the professions such as Law, Finance and Human Resources, the Institute's qualifications provide the essential foundations for international business careers.

Staff can undertake formal tuition conveniently at a local college or through the Distance Learning Programme.

For our Corporate and Business Members the Institute offers guidance on the structure and content of education and training programmes geared towards improving international business competence and, ultimately, commercial performance.
