The future is no longer future…it is here now with the Global Trade industry and our students will need to learn new skills related to new technologies. Technology is changing the landscape in a variety of ways. The Internet of Things, E-Commerce, Blockchain, and Automated document processing is reducing transaction costs in global trade. AI, Automation, and 3D Printing are changing Production processes. Electric Vehicles, Renewables, and Digital goods are impacting new goods and goods movement. Proximity to consumer markets, access to resources, workforce skills, and infrastructure quality are accelerating the shift in global trade flows from goods to services. The more that our students know about wireless networks, virtual reality, augmented reality, and robotics, the better prepared they will be in the technological future that is NOW.

THE FUTURE OF WORK IN CALIFORNIA
IS GLOBAL!
|
|
California has the fifth largest economy in the world—and our role as a global trade leader is a big reason why. There are jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, which are connected to the sector.
Leah Goold-Haws is the California Community Colleges Sector Navigator of Global Trade and Statewide Director of the California Centers for International Trade Development. As she says,
the future of work is globally connected.
|
|
|
Here’s a recent interview we did with her:
What makes the Global Trade a critical component of California's economy?
Global Trade is a critical component of California's economy not only due to the enormous amount of cross-border sales contributing millions of dollars to the state's economy but also as a mechanism for new job creation, especially within the technologies and digital space. As eCommerce has made evident, more California companies of every shape and size are able to reach global customers through online sales. Statistics confirm that those companies with a diverse portfolio that includes foreign customers are less impacted by domestic market downturns when prepared.
