"Our experience with this group in Toluca has been stellar," said Cliff Paredes, International Trade Center director. "Attendees have been working really hard during the last months to absorb the information and be able to graduate. We are looking forward to continue expanding the SBDC model throughout Mexico and the rest of the Americas."
Mexico continues to lead the SBDC expansion in the Americas with 108 SBDC centers operating through the country and with more than a 1,300 staff trained through te customized training.
