INTERNationalBN
Specializing in International Business Tours and Internships
Paris and New York | www.internationalbn.org (in French)
The INTERNational Business Network arranges briefings, tours, and internships for French business and trade students who wish to learn firsthand about the challenges and opportunities of doing business in the United States.
Omar Abdulrahman (rear center, red tie), vice-president and store manager at TD Bank on Manhattan's Upper West Side, hosted a group of ACE-Expert students in the spring of 2011. The students' professor, Gilles Franchini, is to Abdulrahman's right.
IBN is an outgrowth of an annual student tour program that was organized in 2000 to enable inner-city French youth to not only earn a degree, but also broaden their horizons while they are learning, through meaningful interactions with American business leaders.
Each year we welcome senior-year management and accounting students to New York to learn about American business practices. They meet with business leaders, media people, and public officials, and enjoy some of the cultural attractions the city has to offer. When the students return to school, they write their senior paper on the visit. Many describe the ten-day tour as the most exciting and motivating experience of their lives.
The 2011 season ran from 7 January through 19 June 2011. A new season will begin in fall 2011.
