Student Volunteer Program

The International Trade Administration (ITA) located in Washington DC regularly utilizes the services of student volunteers to benefit the student and the agency. The work of the ITA is varied. It may entail advising on international economic policy, administering international trade treaties, monitoring import and exports, promoting exports, and many other trade-related functions. Some offices are an organization specific industry function; others on a geographical basis, while others collect and disseminate trade statistics. An article further describing the functions of ITA is enclosed for your review.

ITA is interested in students majoring in international relations, economics, international business, international affairs, international politics, law or other related fields of study. Good writing skills are important. An attempt is made to match a student's education and/or experience with a relevant assignment.
