Interested in Export Professional Development?

Global Business Programs has created these programs in partnership with the Connecticut District Export Council to promote knowledge about exporting to students who may wish to have this additional skill for their résumés and potential internships. In a global economy, knowledge of exporting logistics and compliance is crucial for businesses of all sizes, as 95% of all consumers live outside the U.S. Completing one or more of these tracks will help prepare students to assist an SME (Small to Medium size Enterprise) to begin or expand their exporting capabilities.

To participate, please email global.business@uconn.edu.

The objective of this seminar course is to understand the process PE and VC investors follow in making decisions about valuation and financing of startups, and, along the way, to master the language of the industry.

The seminars will be presented by prominent UConn alums practitioners in the PE and VC industries. A total of seven seminars are planned in Fall 2022 covering topic areas listed below. Each seminar is 1-hour long, followed by Q&A.

At Global Business Programs, we believe that students with a global mindset continually seek growth in themselves and are uniquely positioned to transform the worldview of those around them. Our main priority is to create opportunities for UConn students to engage the field of International Business across a wide variety of industries. These opportunities take different forms, from speaker series to certificate programs, from case competitions and scholarship opportunities to special events where you engage with faculty, alumni, and business partners. 

Students continue to be powerful advocates of both information and resources for their peers. Knowing this to be true, we began the Global Business Ambassador (GBA) program in 2020. GBAs have the opportunity to participate in opportunities like those mentioned above, and the unique opportunity to sit on our student advisory board to provide direct student input to our programs. We also offer mentoring opportunities with professionals who work in international business.

Please consider applying using the application portal below. Applications are due by September 15. If you have any questions, please email: global.business@uconn.edu.
