Chris is piloting the USDOC\u2019s new Entry Level Internship Program. Thanks to the CITD and USDOC\u2019s long history of collaboration and partnership this opportunity was extended to a Skyline College student. Previously, only students at four-year universities qualified for intern positions.<\/p>\n<p>Chris interned with the CITD and RHT Program during the Fall 2013 semester. In his role as intern, Chris carried out day-to-day operations of the office which included drafting marketing materials\/articles, grant reporting, and detailed record keeping. Chris gained valuable skills and exposure to multinational companies, business professionals and government agencies through his internship with the CITD and RHT Program.<\/p>\n<p>Chris began his internship with the USDOC in February. During his internship he will learn about regional trade and business development activities and gain more experience with international trade, business\/finance and business development.<\/p>\n<p>To be exposed to similar prospects, Chris recommends that fellow Skyline College students, \u201cBe hungry to learn and seek out all opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the USDOC sustains the Entry Level Internship Program, Skyline College will be called-upon to suggest potential Summer and Fall 2014 interns.
