The Economics Department hosted Rissa Harris to speak about careers in International Business. Rissa Harris works for the International Trade Administration in the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC).
In addition to presenting on how the Department of Commerce supports international trade for domestic firms, Ms. Harris discussed several internship and career opportunities at the DOC, and in the U.S. Federal Government more broadly. She also provided career advice for those interested in a career in International Business!
For our international students, do consider a foreign services career by looking for your country’s recruitment page. Here is the link for the Indian Foreign Service, Ghana’s Civil Service, Ethiopia’s Civil Service University, and Vietnam’s Civil Service system (to name a few). For more information about job postings, graduate schools, and internships in other areas, see this.
Thanks to Dr Mellizo for organizing this event!
