WORKFORCE: Applications Open for Ohio Export Internships  

Applications are now open for the Ohio Export Internship 2025 Program Year. The Ohio Export Internship Program connects ambitious college students with small to medium-sized businesses looking to expand into the international marketplace. With U.S. goods and services in high demand worldwide and two-thirds of the world’s purchasing power residing in foreign countries, now is the time for businesses to increase their bottom line by selling overseas. It’s a win-win for everyone! The Ohio Department of Development has spent more than a decade helping businesses navigate international markets while providing students with invaluable hands-on experience. Businesses can be reimbursed for 50 percent of an intern’s wages, giving you both the talent and financial support to help future growth.
