On behalf of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, COMMIT is responsible for planning and implementing the training programme for managers from currently 17 countries, including Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America. The programme has been facilitating successful economic cooperation for 25 years and serves to promote economic exchange between Germany and the participating countries, which is increasing from year to year. More than 15,000 managers have taken part in the programme to date. Around 1,000 more participants join every year.

During a six-week online phase and a two-week stay in Germany, programme participants gain insights into German corporate culture and acquire skills in two areas: Business Administration (management skills) in German business practice and Foreign Trade (cooperation skills) in relation to working with German companies. Participants visit German companies on site and have the opportunity to establish direct contacts. After their stay in Germany, many programme participants maintain contacts via alumni networks and at the same time serve as contacts for German companies abroad. The programme therefore represents an excellent opportunity for both German and foreign companies, where both sides benefit from the transfer of skills and business contacts.
