Professional Credentials

Validate the international knowledge you have gained while a UNIBusiness student by earning a recognized professional certification, the NASBITE Certified Global Business Professional (CGBP) credential. Earning NASBITE's certification demonstrates an individual's ability to conduct business globally. For candidates focused on international trade or supply chain, the certification confirms knowledge equal to two years of work experience in the field. For new graduates, the certification provides credibility for employers and clients. For companies, it assures that employees are able to practice global business at the professional level required in today's competitive environment. For more information about the certification including a list of all CGBPs around the globe, visit www.nasbite.org.

UNIBusiness is pleased to offer the course Global Trade Practices which helps prepare students for the certification exam. UNIBusiness has had more students earn the CGBP credential than any other university.

"We are just now starting to work on a project with ADM's positioning within Mexico. My manager and a few other managers are working on the project. I think I'll get to help with the research because of the CGBP. Most people have no idea where to start on international research. I'm pumped!! And, yes, I think the CGBP helped me get my job." -- Jane Yagla, ADM

"My CGBP certification has given me a professional competitive advantage among my peers that allows me to plan, mitigate and execute our global challenges and strategies as our customers grow outside of the U.S." -- Omar Medina, Metals Procurement Agent Rockwell Collins

"ESP International has been involved in global trade for a number of years. Within the last year we have hired two individuals from the University Of Northern Iowa who have earned the NASBITE CGBP. It is a huge benefit to have someone start and understand what ESP international is involved in and have familiarity with the global supply chain terms. We believe that these individuals have a significant advantage over other individuals who have not earned the global business certification or have not received specific supply chain education."

-- Jeff Hamilton, President & CEO ESP International, Cedar Rapids, Iowa

"As the largest privately owned international freight forwarder and US Customs Broker based in the United States, bringing new talent into our industry is a unique challenge. We are aggressively seeking the best and brightest talent that is available to us. However, we are looking for college graduates who have demonstrated a genuine passion for international business. The work required by students to complete the CGBP credential verifies that the individual wants a career with a dynamic, international company like ours."

-- Stephen J Puleio, Southwest Regional Manager, Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd.
