Where could it take you?

Your role on the global stage is dictated only by your own ambitions. You might advance to a leadership position within a multi-national organisation. You could land a management role in import and export trading. Perhaps you’ll even end up working in the diplomatic corps or a government body that looks after international trade and investment.
