Education

WCIT educates the next generation through in-service workshops for teachers, an innovative trade and economics curriculum package for the classroom, presentations at schools and by serving as an ongoing resource for educators.

The International Trade Education Foundation

The Council's educational activities are carried out under the auspices of our non-profit educational group The International Trade Education Foundation (ITEF). ITEF's mandate is to support schools and educators in their efforts to provide information on the importance of trade in our lives and to the State of Washington.

WCIT helped launch the International Economic Summit in 2004. In 2005 it was launched in Idaho.
