New IHK / ISC Certification Course<br />
International<br />
Footwear Trade Expert<br />
Future footwear trade experts will be able to begin<br />
their training at ISC Germany in the course of 2011<br />
“Today’s footwear industry is totally internationalised,<br />
which also means that the procurement chains<br />
are becoming ever longer and more complex”, according<br />
to Uwe Thamm, Head of ISC Germany. “The new<br />
certification course fills a training gap by providing,<br />
in compact and highly practical manner, the specialist<br />
knowledge necessary to confidently cope with all<br />
aspects of procurement.”<br />
The first footwear trade experts can start the course in<br />
the fourth quarter of 2011 and receive their certificate<br />
in the first quarter of 2012. The course will cost approximately<br />
1700 Euro.<br />
