Program pairs students with firms on trade missions

Appeared on September 26, 2008

More than 40 MBA students from Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business are expected to join businesses on a trade mission to Hong Kong and Malaysia in what the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia (WTCGP) is touting as a first-of-it-kind program. Up until now, the WTCGP has focused on helping businesses break into foreign markets and LeBow College on preparing students to work in them. The two pursuits will combine for the first time during the trade mission, which takes place during the school’s spring break March 14-27 and will include two faculty members and two WTCGP employees. The goal is to link the students with at least 15 businesses looking to enter the markets.
