State in need of companies for export program

0

The State of Ohio is looking for companies that are interested in exporting their goods or services into international markets. The Ohio Development Services Agency offers a unique opportunity to match businesses committed to exporting with college students, called the Ohio Export Internship Program.

Highly-motivated students from 12 different Ohio universities have been selected to participate in this year’s program. The goal of the internship is to help Ohio companies focus on increasing their global exports and train students in international business. Companies are provided a 50 percent reimbursement to offset the costs of intern wages.

“You don’t have to learn on your own,” said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency. “Seventy percent of the world’s purchasing power is outside the U.S. and we can help you go after that to grow your business.”

The 2016 internship program runs from May 16 through August 12, 2016. Ohio companies can apply at eip.development.ohio.gov.

The deadline for companies to apply is March 15, 2016.
