In addition to earning a four-year degree, many students completing the Bachelor of Business Administration - International Business concentration are focused on earning the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT) diploma. Students can transfer credit toward this credential as FITT recognizes the value of International Business courses offered at Mount Royal's Bissett School of Business. After one year of international trade experience, students and graduates with the FITT diploma are eligible to apply for the Certified International Trade Professional (CITP) designation.
Students are available for paid work terms that can be 4, 8 or 12 months in length. Each 4-month term should equate to a minimum of 450 hours of work for a student. Work terms can start in January, May or September depending on student availability. To secure the best pool of candidates, job postings should be submitted 3 to 4 months in advance of the anticipated work term start date unless otherwise advised by the program coordinator.
Our recruiting process is convenient and cost-free.
You can post a job online or provide a detailed job description which will be verified by a Co-operative Education coordinator.
