[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 8th that it held the ‘2021 1st Wando County Trade Academy’ over two days on the 3rd and 4th in cooperation with the Korea International Trade Association for stakeholders of export-related companies.

The Trade Academy was prepared to help export entrepreneurs quickly recognize the rapidly changing export environment due to the spread of COVID-19 and to promote self-development, and it was conducted in compliance with COVID-19 quarantine guidelines.

The training was conducted by inviting Professor Do Gwang-ho from the Korea International Trade Association Trade Academy, covering topics such as overseas market research, trade contracts, step-by-step export-import procedures, electronic trade, trade transportation, and customs clearance.

The county plans to recruit about 30 stakeholders from local export companies through prior announcements and provide free export training once every quarter.

A representative of an export company who participated in the Trade Academy said, “It was not a rigid, rote trade education, but it was good to understand the overall flow of trade practices, and through this training, I gained confidence in carrying out trade operations.”

A Wando County official said, “This training was the first trade practice education for local export companies held by the county,” adding, “We will continue to promote support measures that can provide practical help to local export companies.”

Meanwhile, the county is actively implementing various export support measures such as operating video conference rooms and holding online export consultation meetings.
