Opportunity for U.S. Businessmen and Women To Train in the Russian Federation

Riepilogo

In November 2010, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and Russian Minister of Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining plans for the two countries to cooperate on a management training exchange program that will enable private sector managers from each country to gain practical experience working in the other country. Under the U.S.-Russia Management Training Exchange Program, early-career U.S. managers will travel to Russia for two weeks to learn about business issues in Russia. The Program is arranged by ITA's Special American Business Internship Training Program (SABIT) which has been assisting U.S. companies active in or entering emerging markets. The program in Russia will be implemented through the Federal Resource Center, an agency of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation. The training program is scheduled to take place in the Sverdlovsk region.
