The International Trade Office of the Rhode
Island Economic Development Corporation is pleased to announce
its Export Management Training Grant Program which is made
possible through funding from the Rhode Island Human Resource
Investment Council.
International business is rapidly becoming
the road to growth and prosperity for many Rhode Island companies.
Saturation of domestic markets as well as increased foreign
competition have forced many local companies to go global.
Eligible Rhode Island companies may obtain up to $5,000 in
matching funds to address their international training needs.
Consortiums may apply for additional funding. The goal of
the Export Management Training Grant Program is to create
jobs in Rhode Island by boosting exports.
Companies may implement customized training
programs in the following areas:
- International Business Plan Development
- Market Entry Strategies
- Export Logistics
- International Trade Mission/Show Development
- Language Training
To be eligible, the company must be a Rhode
Island manufacturer who has been in business for a minimum
of two years, have a stable financial position, and manufacture
a product or product line that is competitive in the US market.
Manufactured products must have 51% US content.
