Interns must be a U.S. citizen and a current student at a higher education institution. Course credit depends on the individual student's school; however, the USEAC will support any efforts for interns to receive course credit.

International Trade Interns become involved in the daily operational aspects of managing a high activity office. Projects range from coordinating market research to counseling U.S. companies seeking new international trade partners. Interns support trade specialists with development of trade seminars, presentations, and other projects. In addition, interns assist walk-in visitors, handle telephone calls, perform light clerical tasks, and provide administrative support.
