The Ohio Export Internship Program matches businesses interested in growing exports with highly motivated college students who have taken export-focused coursework.
The Ohio Department of Development offers participating small to medium-sized businesses a 50 percent reimbursement for the wages of the intern.
The internships have a track record of helping businesses achieve export success: 466 students have interned at Ohio companies, resulting in 152 internship extensions, 81 new job positions, and 424 new international markets, distributors, or customers.
