Links and Resources
The following links to sites that provide international business
information, advice and specific assistance are updated regularly
[probably quarterly]. It is not uncommon, however, for these links to
become stale or dated very soon after they are identified. Hence the
advice to be patient when searching. If you "Google" things like
"international business education and training" you should receive lots
of additonal links. Good luck.
