Our Interns
Since the fall of 2006, the ITSSD’s Internship Program has enabled the ITSSD to share its real world knowledge and experience with university students. The program’s goal has been to foster the development of competent and capable future business and legal professionals possessing a global purview. Consistent with the ITSSD’s mission, the program focuses on helping students to appreciate the indispensable role served by private property rights, the rule of law, good governance, best available science, economic cost-benefit analysis and legal due process in the continually evolving international regulatory, technical standards and property rights systems. The ITSSD’s Internship Program has thus far hosted student interns from Seton Hall University’s John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations, George Washington University’s Elliot School of International Affairs, Rutgers University’s School of Arts and Sciences, and Temple University’s Beasley School of Law and Fox School of Business. ITSSD interns have successfully secured summer and permanent positions at the following nongovernmental institutions: The Koch Foundation; The National Foreign Trade Council; The East-West Institute. ITSSD interns have also secured their own publications.
Requirements
The ITSSD is open to commencing student internship programs (with or without course credit) with any interested graduate or undergraduate law, business and/or international relations program. Students may also apply directly by submitting a cover letter, resume and a writing sample to info@ITSSD.org.
