Internships

The World Trade Center Denver offers a limited number of unpaid internships to students on a trimester (Spring, Summer, Fall) basis.

Eligibility

Candidates must be a student in either undergraduate or graduate school. Recent graduates are also considered on a case-by-case basis. Candidates must possess a demonstrated interest in international business and written and verbal English proficiency. As projects vary every trimester, we are also in search of new and different skill sets that will fit with new projects. Interns must be able to commit 15-20 hours to the internship for the full term.
