What is Wocopa Academy "International Investment and Trade Consultancy Training" and what does it aim at? Also, can you tell us about your purpose in establishing a partnership with MCW Academy for Turkey operations?
With its "International Trade and Investment Consultancy" training, Wocopa Academy quickly adapts to new opportunities and developments in the current economic order, analyzes sectoral requirements with experienced and experienced trainers, and offers it to candidates who want to become International Trade and Investment Consultants.
The training consists of 20 modules and approximately 30 hours of lessons, and at the end of each module, internationally renowned people are invited to live classes and they share their experiences with the trainees. This means that trainees will have the opportunity to benefit from a unique education that cannot be found anywhere else in the field of international trade and investment.
In fact, this kind of comprehensive training is offered as a Mini MBA in the world's leading countries in the field of education, such as the United Kingdom. From this point of view, in addition to the theoretical lessons, the trainees will be supported with experience sharing and case studies in live lessons by well-known experts in their fields for each module. In addition, candidates who successfully complete this training will be entitled to become "Wocopa Individual Representative" and will have the chance to reach Wocopa's networks and partners in more than 100 countries, as well as benefit from all the opportunities of the Netherlands-based United Capitals group, to which Wocopa is affiliated.
We tried to be very strategic in our cooperation with MCW Academy. Developing the right local partnerships and collaborations underlies Wocopa's success in reaching more than 100 countries. Again, acting with the same strategy, we cooperated with MCW Academy to deliver this training to the trainees. Because MCW Academy is a dynamic training consultancy firm that has been organizing training organizations (more than 200,000 participants) since 2000, providing training to many domestic and foreign companies (more than 300 companies in 44 provinces), producing projects, and enjoying producing with partner companies. As such, it was an important strategic move to create such an important training, actually a project, with MCW Academy and deliver it to the trainees.
What is the content of Wicopa Academy "International Investment and Trade Consultancy Training"? What are the visions it will bring to the trainees studying at this academy?
We can summarize the content of this training as follows;
• All basic concepts in the field of international trade and investment,
• All direct and indirect capital investment methods in the international arena
• Investment institutions and organizations in Turkey and internationally
• Export and import legislation and practices
• Global marketing practices
• Foreign trade customs applications
• How to reveal international market research methods and opportunities,
• Incentives, grants and aids of export-oriented states
• E-export practices and methods
• How to use international B2B and B2C digital platforms
• Foreign trade payment methods, risks and precautions
• International trade finance methods
• International transportation and delivery methods
• Documents used in foreign trade and customs applications
• Preparation of foreign trade contracts and resolution of disputes
In short, trainees will be able to gain an important experience in the field of practice by listening to experience sharing from experts in the field (Commercial Ambassador, Businesspeople, Keynote Speaker, etc.), as well as having full knowledge of all the legislation in the field of International Trade and Investment.
To talk about the vision that this training will bring to the trainees, I can list the following;
• Will be able to see international investment and trade opportunities as part of an important network all over the world in a very short time. In this way, new horizons can be opened for the trainees,
• They will have the opportunity to do business with Wocopa's worldwide network,
• There will be opportunities to experience trade and investment opportunities in the international arena in a very short time,
• They will have the opportunity to do business in the international arena without the need for capital,
• They can earn huge incomes by consulting/mediating international real estate, real estate and investment opportunities,
• They will have established a strong bond with Wocopa, who will always guide and support the trainees in the field of international trade and investment.
How would you interpret the current economy and the inflation crisis in our country from the perspective of Wocopa Academy?
Unfortunately, there is an important inflation problem in the world and in our country. When the Russia-Ukraine war is added to this crisis, the situation becomes even more dramatic. Leaving the Russia-Ukraine war aside, the deterioration in the supply-demand balance, which started with the covid period, deeply shook the economic balance of the world. In such periods, we see that international capitals always flee to safe harbors and avoid risks. Therefore, in such periods, we witness rapid capital outflows from developing countries such as Turkey.
This situation threatens people and institutions that have remained “local” more than anyone, especially in developing countries. Because, with the effect of the crisis and capital outflows, they are experiencing a significant supply-demand problem. One of the only ways to overcome this problem is to stop being local and become a player in the international market. At this point, as Wocopa Academy, we aim to train competent people in the field of international investment and trade, and together with these people, we aim to make as many companies from our country as international players.
Who is Fatih Kılıç, who played an active role in Wocopa Academy? Where does it position itself in Wocopa Academy?
If I had to talk about myself briefly; I have marketing experience in the Banking, Automotive, Technology and Consulting sectors for about 11 years. In addition to my industry experiences, I continued my academic life. I am currently doing my PhD on marketing at Istanbul University, Institute of Social Sciences. I passed the thesis stage in my doctoral studies and I have focused my thesis on Sustainable Brand Management.
Now, in addition to my role as Wocopa Turkey Marketing Director, I also undertake important duties in the field of marketing and product management in the United Capitals group, which Wocopa is affiliated with. After Elif Koçak took the Wocopa Turkey representation, she started to produce important projects both in the field of human resources and in the operational field. This training and the representation model created by Wocopa Academy is one of the most important projects Wocopa is currently conducting in Turkey. Therefore, as the Marketing Director, I am trying to do my part for this useful project to reach its goal.
What are the benefits of Wocopa Academy to trainees other than lessons? Will there be meetings with experienced people during the course?
I have already mentioned this point in previous questions. In this model we have put forward, the trainees will not only receive theoretical training, but will also listen to experience sharing from experts in the field and become fully equipped with case studies, almost like a Mini MBA.7
In which areas does Wocopa Academy open job opportunities?
Trainees who become representatives by receiving Wcopa Academy training will not be limited to the opportunities within Wcopa. In addition to benefiting from the opportunities created by all companies within the group to which Wocopa is affiliated, they will also benefit from the partnerships it has created. In this context;
• By actively participating in real estate and investment projects within the United Capitals group, which Wocopa is affiliated with, they will be able to generate significant income if they act as an intermediary in these projects,
• Representatives can expand your product portfolio by actively participating in the sales of partnership or cooperation projects of Wocopa. For example, they will be able to obtain the right to sell the products of the companies with which Wocopa is a global partner. In this way, not only Wocopa's product portfolio, but also many brands will have the right to sell their products or to mediate in sales transactions.
We are aware of the importance of creating a network in the field of trade and foreign trade. Can you talk about the position of Wocopa Academy in terms of network?
In fact, foreign trade is completely a "network" business. In other words, if you do not have an international network, it is very difficult for you to do a business. You can do e-commerce up to a certain point, but you will still need a network to run the operations. Therefore, if you want to become an international player, you must first expand your network. You can do this on your own over the years, but this will have significant costs. In fact, Wocopa Academy gives this opportunity to people who want to become actors in the international arena in a short time. Of course, another important point here is that we offer a "reliable network". As everyone knows and appreciates, working with the right and reliable people in the international arena is the hygiene rule of this business.
