Fisher College of Business student offered virtual internship opportunity in Brazil

The Brazil Gateway connects with Brazilian companies, nonprofits and government offices to offer experiential opportunities to Ohio State students. MasterInt, a Brazil-based consulting company, offered a virtual, paid position to Adam Kadro, a Fisher College of Business undergraduate student. “I would say that what drew me into the internship was the ability to work across different countries while still being in Columbus! The market entry project is something that I am very passionate about, and I am very happy to get started,” Kadro said.
