The Institute for International Business (IIB) has been very busy putting together internship programs for Summer 2022. Applications are being accepted through April 15 so please don’t delay in applying for one of these great opportunities!

 

The African Business Innovators internship is a virtual internship where a UI student is paired with an African company owned by an alum of The University of Iowa Mandela Washington Fellowship program. These interns acquire skill of cross-cultural competency and communication and begin to recognize some of the macro business issues of globalization. Community health, social enterprises, technology, and agriculture are among the most common fields the businesses cover, and the internships are on varied areas; customer discovery, defining business models, developing a marketing plan, conducting market research, and more. The internship is 8-10 weeks during the summer, and interns can expect to work 10-20 hours per week. This internship is guided by Tippie faculty via a weekly Canvas course and is eligible for Tippie RISE.

To Apply: the survey for ABI application intake is on the IIB internship website.

 

The Iowa International Business Internship is a compensated internship designed for students here in Iowa to get a first step toward familiarity with international business. Iowa companies such as Simply Organic Spices, Lil’ Drug Store, HON Furniture and SwineTech Inc. (owned by Tippie’s own alum!) are all offering paid positions ($14.50 unless otherwise noted in the position description – one is paying $18!). The internship positions include Operations, Marketing, International Trade, and Product Management, and more. The internship is 8-10 weeks long and students can expect to work around 20 hours per week. Some internships are online, some in person, and some are hybrid – see the position descriptions for more details.

What Tippie students are saying:

“Working with a start-up company based in Melbourne, Australia aimed at entering the U.S. Market by December of this year was an amazing experience.  Their product was an augmented reality mobile app.  Along with my team, I was able to establish relationships with our clients, identify their needs, perform primary and secondary research, and present our findings and recommendations.  It was a consolidated, intense 3 weeks of work and our clients expressed that our results exceeded their expectations.

This experience has taught me to be both patient and persistent when working with those from differing cultures and customs.  Style-flexing to clients doing business at a slightly slower pace and having more meaningful dialogue in our remote meetings to replace the relationship building that would have been done in person pre-COVID, helped to establish trust.  I most enjoyed designing a consumer survey to collect data on target consumer groups and interviewing experts for advice on market entry strategies.  Compiling a 30-page business deck to walk our client through our findings was rewarding.  Influencing a company’s trajectory made it one of the most relevant and applicable courses I’ve taken thus far.”

– Adam S.

 

“The course was the perfect combination of academics and hands-on marketing consultation work. The presentations were given by international business professionals from Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore to name a few. They discussed traditional business customs in their cultures, specific marketing strategies, and how the business world has been changing from their perspective. I had the opportunity to connect with a guest speakers from Australia that discussed conversion rate optimization. He has offered to mentor me and share international opportunities with me, which was never something I thought I would find over zoom.

I was also given the chance to work as a marketing consultant for an online memorial tribute service. The company is based out of Australia, but has customers from all over the globe. I focused on improving the user experience features and visual accessibility of the website. Throughout the project I was finally able to apply my marketing coursework to real life work. I can see how valuable my coursework is as I now have the firsthand knowledge to apply the concepts I’m learning at Tippie.”
