In recognition that very few opportunities exist which present the same invaluable access to international sectors a WTCI Intern receives training and experience in international trade, economics, and diplomacy.

From working with Illinois’ executive business leaders to participating in internationally trade focused events and conferences, a WTCI intern will finish with a firm introduction to every side of international business and affairs.
