TORONTO, November 03, 2022— Today, the Toronto Region Board of Trade’s World Trade Centre Toronto launched its Executive Certificates Program, a series of in-depth and practical one-day programs covering specific topics related to global trade and business growth.
The Executive Certificates Program aims to empower Canadian entrepreneurs who want to export their products and services to new markets or effectively scale their businesses through half- and full-day in-person workshops and mentorship from world-class experts.
