Spending 10 weeks in Belgium can be good for your future.



The Georgia Department of Agriculture and the University of
Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are
cosponsoring a 10-week internship with the GDA International
Trade Division’s European Office in Brussels, Belgium.



For students looking for practical work experience, this
opportunity can help them better understand international trade,
marketing and promotion while helping promote Georgia
agricultural products.



The internship offers experience in the day-to-day operations of
the trade office:


  • Working with importers and Georgia exporters.


  • Producing and distributing marketing publications.


  • Developing trade leads.


  • Attending and coordinating international trade
    shows.


  • Acting as a liaison between Georgia agribusinesses and
    foreign buyers.



    • Interns work with office staff. They conduct market research,
    write reports, maintain a client database, respond to requests
    for information and provide administrative support.



    Qualified students must show an active interest and basic
    knowledge of international business. They must be familiar with
    standard office software. It helps to speak French, too, but it’s
    not required.



    The internship provides airfare, lodging and a modest per diem
    for meals and other living expenses. The 2001 summer session
    begins right after spring semester.



    To learn more or to apply, write Dr. David Knauft, Associate Dean
    for Academic Affairs, 102 Conner Hall, Athens, GA 30620. Or call
    him at (706) 542-1611.
