L N Welingkar Institute of Management Development & Research (WeSchool), Mumbai, to launch a Post Graduate Programme in Foreign Trade Management (PGP-FTM) at Mumbai. The MoU was inked by Khalid M Khan, Regional Chairman, FIEO (WR) and Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, WeSchool. The MoU aims to jointly develop and deliver the Post Graduate Programme in Foreign Trade Management (PGP-FTM), which shall endeavour to develop the human capital for meeting the growing demand in international trade ecosystem. The programme will broadly encompass the General Management Principles, Export Import Procedures, Foreign Trade Management Techniques and International Marketing Concepts. The course will equally benefit professionals working in the area of international trade and also students aspiring to pursue a career in export or imports.

Khan said, “Academia and industry are two different worlds which are operating in isolation, both unaware of the requirements of each other. Considering the dynamic changing business environment and increase in demand for skilled and industry ready professionals, there is a felt need to develop a course that imparts both theoretical concepts and practical knowhow. FTM Programme aims to achieve that.”
