After seeing so much more of the world with my own eyes, I discovered the major opportunities in expanding business operations internationally. I felt that the best part of this internship was the fact that the hard work my teammates and I were doing mattered.

The International Trade Center internship experience has not only made me a more attractive interview candidate, but it has given me a unique global mindset that will be lasting. Upon graduation I now plan on seek out job opportunities that have an international component to them.

We always say that international business and business aren’t really different anymore. Business is business, and it’s happening all over the world. If you’re a business student, it’s definitely important to have that global mindset.
