IBC Internship Program 

The IBC is pleased to announce the launch of the IBC Internship Program, an initiative designed to further support the business community in the Greater Cincinnati area.  It is one of the primary goals of the IBC to assist businesses in the tri-state expand their international reach and increase their international exposure.  In support of that goal, the IBC is now assisting in the placement of NKU students with community partners for internships.  Interns are available at no charge to Greater Cincinnati businesses.

Internships are offered in two capacities so that the business’s needs are matched as closely as possible:

IBC Interns will perform targeted research that enhances the community’s global knowledge and cross-cultural skills on a particular topic, or series of topics. Are you unsure of how to expand? An IBC intern will research your product or service’s entry and growth potential and determine which foreign market serves as the best fit. These students will be able to provide the dedicated manpower and to working on a defined project, either in the company’s workplace, or remotely from the IBC Outreach Office, dependent on business needs.

Company Interns will work directly at the company’s site to perform a myriad of duties and function much like an employee for a specified time period. Your business will gain a fresh outlook on their business practices and receive an extra set of hands (and eyes and ears!) to dig in and get started on project work. NKU students maintain a wealth of knowledge specific to their area of study, and are very current on trends and events in the marketplace. Furthermore, this experience proves to be an excellent trial run for future employment decisions.
