The Ohio Department of Development’s Export Internship Program connects small- and medium-sized manufacturers seeking to expand into international markets with college students, reimbursing employers for 50% of intern wages. Participating companies must demonstrate a commitment to exports, provide managerial guidance, and ensure the intern’s workload focuses on export-related tasks.

The application portal for the 2026 program is now open through January. For more information, contact Wendi Howell, Ohio Export Internship Program Manager. 1/15/2026
