The North Dakota Trade Office will be bringing the Export Management Course to Jamestown College in Fall 2012. The 12-week educational course offered to students and business professionals covers all key areas of the export industry and gives participants practical knowledge to help avoid the common – and not-so-common – missteps that can create regulatory headaches and strip companies of customers and profits. The course, which is also held at UND in the fall and NDSU during the spring semesters, will begin in Jamestown on August 28.
