The Exporter Growth Programme has been launched by the New Zealand School of Export specifically for exporters who want to up-skill but do not have the time to study for a qualification. 

 

The programme provides a road-map to export success which is tailored to the specific needs of your company.  Delivered entirely by distance learning, participants receive practical learning materials including checklists and templates (which can save you hundreds of dollars), one-on-one business monitoring throughout the programme, and the option to undertake an Exporter Health Check which includes an additional two days intensive business mentoring and consultancy.

 

Enrolments are open now and a 50% subsidy – offered by the New Zealand School of Export – is available for the first 40 companies to apply.  For further information check out the New Zealand School of Export website or call them on (06) 356 5656 to reserve your place.
