The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) has invited both existing and potential exporters to apply for an Exporter Development Training Programme. The purpose of the training is to prepare small and medium enterprises for the successful expansion of their businesses into international markets.
Interested companies are required to complete and submit the export-readiness assessment form, which will help determine the appropriate level of training for each company.
The training is clustered in four phases, namely:
Phase 1: Introduction to exporting
Phase 2: Planning for exports
Phase 3: Market entry
Phase 4: Global exporting
Companies must meet a minimum assessment score to be eligible to participate in the training.
