Abstract
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.By submitting a contribution to consideration of the Editorial Board of Fórum Empresarial, the authors attest that it is an original, unpublished work, which has not been nor will be simultaneously submitted to another journal for consideration and publication; that they are responsible for the work carried out and the content of the article; and they have the corresponding copyrights.
