Pathways To Opportunity: Careers in International Trade, Textiles, Fashion, and Apparel

The WITA Academy Pathways to Opportunity program consists of a series of career pathways sessions hosted by trade professionals from the Washington D.C. policy community. The curriculum, divided between the public and private sector, highlights different roles and career paths that are available in Washington D.C. and around the world.

Students come away with an understanding of the trade policy-making community, the role of its key players, and the opportunities for internships and careers available to them.
