Ohio Export internship program (OEIP)
The Ohio Export Internship Program (OEIP) is offered through the WCBA in partnership with Ohio Department of Development. This program combines a spring semester export-focused course covering Global Supply Chain, International Finance, International Marketing, and Global Business Management with a paid summer internship. The class has 5 Certificates and is all hands-on with workshops, speakers, and a field trip. For the internship, students will be matched with an Ohio company where they will get the opportunity to work in a professional setting together with the company's executives and apply the knowledge learned in the classroom. Over the summer, students work 40 hours a week for 12 weeks, earning $17 per hour. Students must have a 3.0 GPA to apply and be at a sophomore, junior, or senior (graduating the December after the internship or later) level. Applications open late August/early September.
