Dear Prospective Intern,
The Massachusetts Export Center is a government agency that helps Massachusetts businesses to export their products and services internationally. We operate through a statewide network of offices and employ a small team of international trade professionals. Though we are small in number, we are extremely effective in providing a variety of export related services to companies throughout the Commonwealth.
Because of our small staff, much of what we do is made possible through the efforts of our interns. Moreover, because we are a small office, our interns have the ability to work on a variety of projects to which they would not necessarily have exposure in a larger organization. The responsibilities of an intern may include a variety of tasks, ranging from data entry to work on high-level client research. Each project is geared to special capabilities that the intern may have, such as foreign language skills or computer skills. Whenpossible, we provide interns with the opportunity to work on real-world cases, helping clients to develop new markets overseas.
If you have initiative, are flexible, have an interest in international business and consider yourself a team player, please forward your resume and cover letter to us We look forward to hearing from you.
