Algonquin College’s "Applied International Trade: Strategies and Tactics" course provides first-year students with practical skills essential for navigating the complexities of international trade. Through this experience, students will apply their knowledge in trade policy, market analysis, strategic decision-making, and compliance with global regulations. Learners are keen to develop their abilities in managing international communications, negotiating within various cultural contexts, analyzing commercial documents, and leveraging emerging technologies to enhance global trade operations.

Employers participating in this experience can expect regular communication with the students, offering guidance, and providing all necessary information pertinent to the project. Employers should be either physically (those domiciled in Ottawa) or virtually present at the final presentation and offer constructive, professional feedback through the Riipen platform.

Please be aware that:

1. This is an in class project and the Algonquin College, its students or its employees are not liable for undesired outcomes.
2. There is an expected commitment of time required for successful participation in this project and to provide timely feedback to the students.
3. That I may have to pay for additional costs and services based on my project’s requirements. All additional costs are optional, and recommendations will be provided by the team in advance. Some examples include web hosting plans, premium themes, stock video footage, and third-party industry research.

At the end of this collaboration, employers will receive:

• A final international market entry report highlighting the main findings and recommendations proposed by the students.
• A final international market entry presentation where learners will present the project results and answer any questions from the employer.
