BCCC to host international business workshop | Eastern NC Now

Press Release:

    The Division of Continuing Education at Beaufort County Community College will host a workshop that will help local businesses, including agriculture-based businesses, learn more about doing business internationally.

    The workshop will be 10 a.m. to noon, Thursday, February 27, in the auditorium of Building 8 on the BCCC campus.

    Among the scheduled speakers will be John Loyack, director of global commerce for the N.C. Department of Commerce, and N.C. Rep. Paul Tine, who represents Beaufort County in the N.C. General Assembly.

    It is sponsored by BCCC's Small Business Center and the Washington/Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce.

    "As technology shrinks the distance between markets and the scale advantages of large firms are reduced, opportunities for North Carolina business and agri-business are broadening," said Lentz Stowe, director of BCCC's Small Business Center. "This is an excellent opportunity to learn what resources may be available for a small business and to find out how to make a local small business globally competitive."

    The workshop is offered free of charge but to allow for the adequate preparation of materials, pre-registration is encouraged.

    To pre-register, contact BCCC's Business and Industry Services at (252) 940-6375 or email Eva Peartree at evap@beaufortccc.edu or Lentz Stowe, director of BCCC's Business and Industry Services at 252-940-6306 or by email at lentzs@beaufortccc.edu.
