CIBT Canadian Institute of Business & Technology Corporation (CIBT), a subsidiary of Capital Alliance Group Inc., is pleased to announce that it has signed a corporate MBA training contract with Schneider Electric Investment (China). The total value of the contract is approximately $610,000. The length of the contract is for a 14-month period.
