Internship and Training Program USA (ITP) is a practical training in an American business for overseas University students and young professionals. The training bridges the Trainees' course of study to their career development objectives. While Trainees gain practical knowledge in their specialized fields, the American staff gains international cultural and business awareness. The Trainees not only gain valuable insight into the American business methods and practices, they immerse themselves into the American society and culture.
