Stewart Laing Director at Scottish Development International (SDI) t : 0141 228 2828 www.sdi.co.uk We have identified international growth opportunities. How do we strengthen our existing team to exploit these? QA Successful internationalisation requires a range of specific skills and knowledge which may not always be present within a company. If your business is lacking in these areas SDI's International Mentoring services can offer companies support and guidance. There are four sources of assistance under the programme which aim to address knowledge, skills and funding gaps to help businesses overcome barriers to growth overseas. International Business Manager for Hire provides part funding for up to a year for companies to hire a highly qualified business professional with extensive global expertise and technical skills. Organisations lacking international business skills or knowledge at senior management level find this service particularly useful. GlobalScot was founded to harness the drive and talent of successful Scots and people with an affinity for Scotland around the world. These outstanding individuals are committed to advance Scotland's economic success by providing companies with their free advice, and access to contacts and other support. Further information is available through the GlobalScot website www.globalscot.com Graduates for Business International gives companies access to the skills and knowledge of some of the country's best graduates who are employed by you to undertake a specific project over a three to twelve month period.Read
