Ohio Export Internship Program Application

For Undergraduate or Graduate Students:

The Ohio Export Internship Program at CSU is part of a larger statewide initiative in international trade and job growth supported by the Ohio Department of Development. Cleveland State University is one of just six Ohio universities to host a cohort, although students of any Ohio university or college are eligible to apply.

Each year our site is designated with a limited number of guaranteed paid summer internships to offer qualified students, and as such, it is a competitive process. Students interested in participating in the paid summer internship are required to complete the application found below.

After submitting your application, you may be asked to interview with program representatives. If after the interview you are invited to participate in the program, you will be asked to complete a brief background questionnaire and to enroll in the spring course INB/BUS493 which is a prerequisite to the internship.

If you are not interested in the internship position and are only interested in taking the course please speak with your advisor or register for the course via Blackboard.
