ITO Internship Program

The ITO internship program offers opportunities to work with area specialists. During their stay with the ITO, interns will be assigned specific projects. The nature of the projects will vary and be discussed in more detail during interviews.

Typical projects include general market research on behalf of Colorado exporters and identification of Colorado companies for participation in ITO programs (trade shows, trade missions, etc.).  Interns will likely also assist with preparation for incoming delegations and meetings with the Governor. An understanding of or interest in learning about the export process and entities involved would be helpful.

The ITO is an office of the Governor, and as such, interns must be mature and professional. Interns are a vital part of our team and we seek the following backgrounds:

• Strong interest in international business/relations
• Interest in/experience with overseas work or travel
• Dependability (commitment to weekly schedule through end of internship period)
• Computer skills (Microsoft Applications & Internet)
• Ability to work independently
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Foreign language skills

The internship is unpaid. The time commitment is generally 15-20 hours per week. Please e-mail a cover letter and a resume as a single document to the Internship Coordinator at thomas.binet@state.co.us.

Only those selected for an interview will be notified of the status of their application.

ITO accepts applications on a rolling basis.  Please specify in your cover letter the period of time for which you are applying.

Thank you for your interest in the ITO's internship program!
