The University of South Dakota’s Beacom School of Business and South Dakota Trade are expanding their partnership to provide new opportunities for students and South Dakota companies engaged in international trade.
The relationship, in its second year, has provided continuing education to over 70 individuals across the state on topics like “revolutionizing supply chain management,” “exploring the global marketplace” and “importing and exporting regulations.”
The partnership is focused on the following four key areas.
- Continuing executive education for business professionals.
- Connecting students to international business opportunities through the Coyote Business Consulting program.
- Growing USD’s partnerships with foreign universities and recruiting international students.
- Co-hosting the 2024 Midwest Agricultural Export Summit, which brings together agricultural leaders from seven Midwestern states to collaborate on export opportunities.
USD President Sheila K. Gestring says the world is getting more complicated, not less. She says the school has a responsibility to ensure that its students and the existing workforce are well equipped to navigate these changing waters.
Luke Lindberg, president & CEO of South Dakota Trade, says the faculty at USD have already delivered tremendous value to their partner organizations. He says this expanded partnership will enable them to deliver even more value to the state’s efforts to growing its presence in overseas markets.
