The WITA Academy seeks to expand diversity, equity and inclusion in international trade by educating students and others about careers in international trade.
The WITA Academy, through our vast network of trade professionals in the United States and around the world, highlights different pathways to a future job in international trade. Working directly with universities and local communities, the WITA Academy helps empower individuals to overcome obstacles that might otherwise keep them from accessing career opportunities in international trade.
The work of the WITA Academy fosters a sustainable pipeline for the international trade community to bring the best and brightest, next generation workforce into the trade policy community – diversifying its network of professionals with new talent that may not have previously sought careers in international trade.
