Global Trade Mission Global Trade Mission

Business Partner Breakfast January 15, 2013


Historical Review ü  The need for this program was originally identified in1998, in meetings

with the President, the Secretary of Commerce, and leading CEO’s. It was recognized that US curriculum did not include aspects of international trade. This resulted in a Dept. of Commerce initiating the Virtual Trade Mission.

ü  In Oakland County, this was modified to match local needs as educators

and business partners worked with government officials to design and deliver the GTM model, a simulated trade mission for students.

ü  Initially sponsored by Automation Alley, hosted by Oakland

Community College, and managed by Oakland Schools, the project has a regional impact. Support from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Governor’s office, and the Department of Commerce has allowed for local and global business support.
