(PDF: 648 KB / 1 page)
Exporters throughout Atlantic Canada have proven that they have
quality products, services and expertise that are in demand all
over the world.
If you are interested in exporting or increasing your company’s
market share in international markets, a valuable resource is now
at your disposal – the Export Internship for Trade Graduates.
This initiative is designed to provide training and employment
opportunities to international trade specialists graduating from
Atlantic Canadian universities and colleges. In addition, it helps
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to acquire the inhouse
expertise they need to successfully develop and implement
an international marketing plan.
The Export Internship for Trade Graduates is one of five
components of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency’s
Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (ATIP).
Eligible companies work with ACOA and the relevant postsecondary
institution to select a qualified graduate with training
in international business.
Working together, the employer and intern develop and
implement a strategic exporting plan for the company.
Who can participate?
Students in their final years of formal training related to
international trade.
Companies that demonstrate the commitment and means to
create and implement a successful international export strategy.
Atlantic Canadian universities and colleges that offer a degree,
a diploma or specialized courses in international business.
ACOA will provide 75% of salary and benefit costs (to a
maximum of $25,000) for each trade graduate during his or
her internship.
At the conclusion of the internship, the employer may apply
under ACOA’s Business Development Program for assistance to
retain the graduate’s services for up to three additional years as
a marketing manager.
If you are a company interested in exploring the possibility of
hiring an intern or if you are a recent university or college
graduate interested in an internship with an Atlantic Canadian
firm, contact your nearest ACOA regional office.
