We call this STEMpreneurship ®.

What People Are Saying
“The Global Trade Mission really helped shape my future. Before GTM, I had no interest in, or knowledge of foreign trade. Now, as a college student, I am majoring in International Relations.”
— Former GTM Student
“Global Trade Mission for high school students is an example of what learning and school should be. I attended as a business coach and evaluator, so I had the chance to see things at work over all three days. While it is a short period of time, it is clear that a lot of learning goes on and students were inspired to take new paths. I applaud you for the program’s success and hope you are able to touch many students in the future.”
