Interns work in the Mexican and Canadian embassies, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Council of the Americas, and the Greater Washington Initiative. The students live and study together in a trilingual environment. They meet and interact with the advocates and practitioners who make up Washington's trade-related public policy community.

The Program Internships in trade, commerce, economics, business and policy. Seminar focusing on cross-cultural communication, bias awareness, problem solving, power structures and language training. Compile briefing materials for ambassadors etc. At my placement, The Mexican Embassy, I learned how the Mexican government promotes business and commerce. Every aspect of the program provides each of the interns with the opportunity to gain new knowledge, explore new fields, and make new international friends.
