Career history
Emiliano Introcaso has remarked as one of the most influencing canadian trade professionals. He started his career in 1999, as a Spanish translator and interpreter, working for KW Multicultural Centre. Thereafter, he established the first contact with the world of money in 2003, being hired as a tax preparer by HR Block Canada. This was the beginning of a 10 years management experience in a global organization doing logistics, procurement, customs and supply chain management. Four years later, in September 2007, he turned to the field of retailing, being employed by Apple Retail Canada. In the meantime, he was working as an account manager and customer service representative for Capital Tool & Design Ltd. This proved to be his first long-term contract, working for over a decade, until March 2011, when he decided to begin his career as a teacher and courses developer.

He has facilitated an extensive portfolio of courses in international business, teaching several classes for Seneca College in Toronto and facilitating as an online instructor for eConcordia. Some of the topics he has taught include: trade documentation, transborder procedures, customs, logistics, supply chain management, international transportation and international trade finance. He has also authored and developed CTM107-Transborder and Customs Procedures, an online course hosted by OntarioLearn.com.

Emiliano is helping hundreds of students to turn their dreams into reality. He is not only a person who shares his knowledge, experiences and support, but who also urges them to use what they learn to help other students, co-workers and even superiors.

He currently works for the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) as a Project Funding Officer with the Smart program. Emiliano provides prospective funding applicants with business advise and guidance to successfully complete government grant applications to expand globally and increase exports.

Thorought his career, he has earned some valuable, well-known designations in the field of business.

Designations
The CITP certification (Certified International Trade Professional) enabled him to become a certified member of the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT) - www.fitt.ca.

This was undoubtedly a wise move, as he declares himself: "A higher salary, greater job performance, boost in self-confidence and greater respect from business colleagues and superiors,” he says. “As a CITP, I was even able to weather several downsizings at one employer since I was too valuable an asset to lose.".

He also became a professional member of The Logistics Institute (www.loginstitute.ca), being awarded the '''P.Log. - Professional Logistician certification'''.

"''I manage a portfolio of some 150 project applications for government grants from the SMART Program of the CME," he says. "The CITP designation enabled me to develop a tight grasp on the fundamentals of international trade. In particular, past work experience in international business combined with completion of the FITT courses makes it possible for me to identify exactly the right questions to ask company officials to determine whether or not their businesses’ plans should qualify for funds.''".
