It will assist trade officers in understanding their own roles and that of the broader TCS network in achieving the Government of Canada’s international business development objectives and give HQ-based officers a better understanding of how the TCS serves Canadian clients in Canada and abroad.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• describe the TCS’ mandate and activities
• articulate your role and the role of other HQ-based colleagues in supporting the work of client-facing Trade Commissioners across the network
• identify solutions to common challenges presented to the TCS network
• communicate TCS client ‘successes’
