Sumario:In this article an attempt has been made to study the sources of support and training for export oriented Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Australia. Austrade (a government agency) appears to be the principal source of information, advice and training for a very large proportion of manufacturing SMEs. The type of training that the majority of SMEs undertook was largely related to technical aspects of exporting such as export procedures and export documentation. Many SMEs also appear to have used multiple sources of information to obtain market related information.
