Why Trade Requires a Diverse Set of Skills: Exploring the Global Pathways Passport

Trade is the backbone of the global economy, connecting markets, industries, and people across borders. However, modern trade is far more complex than the simple exchange of goods and services. It is shaped by a range of factors, including regulations, technological advancements, geopolitical shifts, sustainability concerns, and more.

To succeed in this dynamic environment, professionals and businesses must be equipped with a diverse set of skills, spanning multiple areas of expertise. The Global Pathways Passport (GPP) offers a unique opportunity to acquire and showcase these competencies.

What is the Global Pathways Passport?

The Global Pathways Passport is a digital credentialing system designed by GTPA and EMTC to support professionals and businesses seeking to expand their expertise in global trade and supply chains.

Through a series of foundational courses and specialised training modules, participants earn digital badges—or "stamps"—that act as markers of their growing knowledge. These stamps cover a wide variety of trade-related areas and serve as a visual representation of a learner’s skills and expertise in key areas of international trade and supply chains.

This Passport system allows professionals to tailor their education to their career goals, earning credentials across multiple topics, including:

  • Trade Management
  • Regulation and Compliance
  • Finance and Supply Chain
  • Trade Policy
  • Climate Smart Trade
  • Digital Trade
  • Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
  • International Marketing
  • Trade Strategy
  • Inclusive Trade
  • International Procurement, and more.

By obtaining these digital stamps, professionals demonstrate to employers, clients, businesses, supply chains and partners that they possess a well-rounded skill set, suited to the complexities of global trade.
