ICT 기술혁신에 따른 제4차 산업혁명은 무역에 있어서도 큰 변화를 일으킬 것으로 예상된다. 즉, 4차 산업혁명시대에는 상품과 서비스의 융복합, 상품개발과 소비의 통합, 그리고 Cross-Border E-Commerce로 변화할 것이다. 따라서 무역전문가에서도 빅데이터 분석이나 E-commerce에 대한 문제해결 능력과 창의·융합 능력이 요구될 것이다. 본 연구는 델파이 분석방법과 표적집단면접법(Focus group interview)을 이용하여 4차 산업혁명시대 국제무역전문가가 가져야 할 핵심역량을 개발한 것이다. 역량기반 교육과정(Competency Based Curriculum: CBC)은 지식의 획득이 아닌 특정 직무를 수행할 수 있는 역량에 초점을 두고 교육과정을 개발하는 것이다. 분석결과 7개의 신규교과목이 제안되었다. 특히, 4차 산업관련 역량에 맞는 Curriculum 으로는 빅데이터응용분석, 융합상품론, 디지털마케팅, International E-business, 비즈니스통계학 등이 제안되었다.
