BUILD YOUR CAREER WITH CREDENTIALS
Quoting from an article titled, Credential Clout: How higher ed can prepare for an evolving job market, “Eighty-eight percent of students plan to pursue additional education programs or credentials after they complete their current program and almost all students think that earning a credential on top of a degree will make them more specialized in their field. Employers agree. In the next five years, the vast majority of U.S. recruiters believe that credentials will become more important in their company’s consideration of whether to hire someone over a candidate without credentials.”
In the Global Trade sector there are at least 4 trade associations or agencies where students and faculty can obtain credentials:
CITD – Center for International Trade Development
NASBITE - National Association of Small Business International Trade
Educators
CBP - U.S. Customs and Border Protection
SBA – U.S. Small Business Administration
While students are working toward Global Trade degree and certificate completion they can get a step-up on the competition with credentials that industry values as proof of their work readiness.

By 2025, California will face a shortage of workers with some post-secondary education, but less than a bachelor’s degree. The community college system is a potential gateway to the jobs of the future.
The latest data also suggest that California workers with
some college
earn about
20 to 30 percent
more than otherwise similar workers with only a high school education. And for those with
associate degrees, this wage premium is at the high end of that spectrum
—about 32 percent.

LinkedIn Workforce Reports April 2019
|
|
LinkedIn just released these April 2019 Workforce Reports, a monthly report on employment trends in Los Angeles and the United States workforce.
|
|
LOS ANGELES WORKFORCE REPORT
Localized employment trends in L.A. and 20 of the largest U.S. metro areas
|
|
U.S. WORKFORCE REPORT
Provides insights into hiring, skills gaps, and migration trends across the country.
|
|
These are the 10 most In-demand Skills of 2019
|
|
According to
analysis
from networking site LinkedIn, 2019’s employers are looking for a combination of both hard and soft skills, with creativity topping the list of desired attributes.
The findings chime with the
World Economic Forum’s
Future of Jobs report
, which concluded that
“human” skills like originality, initiative and critical thinking are likely to increase in value as technology and automation advances.

The Secret Life of Supply Chains
|
|
Supply chain industries comprise 43 percent of jobs nationwide
, and their
average wages are 70 percent higher than those in B2C industries
: $65,800 versus $38,800.
In fact, the
highest paying jobs
are not in companies that are making parts, but
in those providing supply chain traded services, where average wages are $83,500
.
That fact is ordinarily obscured because service suppliers are usually lumped in with direct-to-consumer or “Main Street” services (think retail and restaurants), which have the lowest average wages, $29,400.
|
|
While US policymakers and politicians focus on reviving the manufacturing sector...
a source of better jobs is hidden in plain sight. Call it the supply chain economy.

TECHNOLOGY AND COLLABORATION: HARNESSING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE EVOLVING WORLD OF TRADE
|
|
The global trade landscape is undergoing significant change, driven by increasingly sophisticated technology and the rapid development of emerging economies. Technology has, for example, enabled small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the globe to trade over far greater distances, while advances in communication and transportation have supported the spread of global value chains.
