The Foreign Service of Business
? The Business Couppll_for, Inter-
national Understanding is conduct-
ing five courses this year, all at
American University in Washington,
. One such course begins this
month.
Since 1958, the council has been
running a sort of foreign service
school open to executives (and their
wives) engaged in international ac- ?
tivities. It could be called business',
and industry's school for foreign
service diplomats. More than 700 ,
executives and wives of vexZcutives '
have been graduated so far. They.
now are resident in 66 different '
countries, scattered about the earth.
The occupations range from tech-
nical specialists to managing chiefs
of overseas operations. Their firms.
represent a Cross section of Amer-,
ion business and industry, from oil,
?
to soft drinks, from steel and rubber
to chemicals and banking.
The house publication of Stand-
ard Oil Co... of New Jersey recently
made this report: "A recent check
of (BCIU) graduates indicates that
fewer than 1 per cent have failed
and been brought back from over-
seas assignments." ?
? That's quite a record, reflecting
both .the quality of instruction and
the quality of those instructed.
