The Ohio Development Services Agency is accepting company applications now for summer internships.

The Development Services Agency will reimburse half the intern wages, up to $3,600. The internships will run from May 13 through August 9, 2019. The interns are continually mentored by Ohio export assistance staff.
Applications are now under review. The final deadline to apply is February 1, 2019.
