Great Opportunity for Ohio Businesses looking for Exporting Help

Ohio State officials are looking for companies to pair with interns for exporting help. The companies need to apply before December 10 to be considered. This is a great way to get help with exporting compliance, analysis, marketing and creating a compliance manual to name a few ways students help. This program reimburses the company 50% of the paid intern's wages.

As a consultant who works with companies new to translation, I often see company associates in a learning curve, trying to juggle compliance, marketing and more. Utilizing this program gives people involved in export access to someone who will dedicate their time to your specific export need. They are involved completely in your export process and have access to great resources within the state and university system. They are able to research your specific need/problem/issue and take action to successfully complete the project.

This resource is far more valuable than just the 50% reimbursement. The workload the student is able to take on, frees time for your associates to dedicate their resources to other projects concerning exporting.

I have talked with several companies who have taken advantage of this resource and the service was deemed as highly productive and helpful to grow a new market. I recommend inquiring with the State to apply to participate in this program.
