What is the ERTP? A 10 module, 1.5 hour per module live, interactive webinar-based program specifically focused on evolving the exporting and international sales capabilities of Canada’s wood product companies. Specialists & industry representatives offer real-life examples on the do’s and don’ts of exporting throughout. Crucial topics that help you determine if you are ready and if not, how to go about preparing yourself for a successful launch into a new market.
