The Ohio Development Services Agency is seeking to pair summer interns with small-to-medium sized Buckeye State businesses emerging as exporters.
Companies have until March 15 to apply for the program, through which the state provides 50 percent reimbursement to help cover the cost of interns’ wages.
“Students gain practical skills to compete in a globally competitive job market,” said agency director David Goodman, “while companies have the opportunity to expand internationally and create jobs.”
This program is a partnership with the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State University and Youngstown State University’s Williamson College of Business Administration. In the last four years, the student-company matches generated more than $19 million in expected global sales and 17 full-time job offers.
