The School is in fact a Charitable Trust. Our very first exporters received some financial assistance from NZTE but the School is not eligible for funding because we only accept people who are already in business on to our course, and we are a distance learning provider. <br /><br />We take this approach so that we can really focus on helping businesses grow their exports, and exporters can study where and when they like. <br /><br />Like other walks of life, there's a shortage of role models for Maori exporters. The Diploma of International Trade is very practical and our exporters have access to a huge amount of support and advice. <br /><br />By providing scholarships to Maori, we know we can help businesses to grow their exports - this not only helps the business and boosts the economy, but we then have those role models to encourage those less experienced exporters.Alison Vickershttp://www.export.ac.nznoreply@blogger.com
