Kean University Seminar Will Solve Mysteries of International Trade
UNION, N.J. – The Small Business Development Center of Kean University will present a workshop titled De-mystifying International Trade, on Tuesday, June 17, from 9 a.m. to noon at the school’s East Campus, Room 117, 215 North Avenue, Hillside, N.J.
Roger S. Cohen, president of Cohen International of Old Tappan, N.J., and lead international-trade consultant for the New Jersey Small Business Development Center, will conduct the seminar, which is designed to help determine if entering international markets, either as a buyer or a seller, is the right move for a company.
The workshop will focus on such topics as exporting and importing; market research and planning; methods of receiving payment, such as letters of credit; international trade resources, including financing programs; and freight forwarding and customs brokerage.
There is a fee of $15 per person or $20 for two, which includes literature and refreshments. Special arrangements for people with disabilities can be made upon request. Be sure to bring business cards and brochures for networking purposes.
For further information or to register for the workshop, please contact Irene Schmidt at (908) 737-5951.
