You Exporting? Looking For Assistance?
If you are a small to medium sized exporting or export-ready
enterprise, you could benefit from the Export Internship for Trade
Graduates program.
Supported by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), this program places Memorial University and College of the North Atlantic graduates with international trade expertise in one-year internships with local companies. During that year interns can develop and implement international marketing strategies, participate in trade shows and liaise with clients. ACOA contributes 75% of the intern's salary and benefits during the internship year (to a maximum of $25,000 per intern).
We have already recruited companies for the 2005-06 internship year, however, in February 2006 we will be looking for another 10
companies. If your company would benefit from this opportunity, or if you would like to know more about the Export Internship for Trade Graduates, please contact:
