Internship and Career Development

At Centre of Excellence International Trading (CEIT), internship is a key component of the comprehensive and holistic education of our International Trading Programme (ITP). It also helps our corporate partners and other industry players build up their human capital talent pipeline.

We work closely with our corporate partners and students to place interns in organisations across the entire trading value chain, including sub-sectors of international trading, such as oil & gas, metals and mining, and agri-commodities. As an ITP student, you can look forward to exciting hands-on, industry-related trading experience, both locally and overseas.

A successful internship is often a prelude to a job offer, since many companies use internships to test the intern’s mettle. Internships also allow you to have a much better understanding of the job requirements, career prospects and inner workings of the company, and, in turn, enable you to better gauge your interest in the job.

Our Mission

 

To build a community for like-minded individuals aspiring to pursue a career in the commodities industry and to raise the profile of the International Trading Programme (ITP) within the industry.

 

International Trading Club is the official student-led body representing ITP students at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Through close partnership with the Centre of Excellence International Trading (CEIT), our club engages students and industry players through various initiatives such as speaker series, networking events, and experiential site visits.

We play an active role in organising events and activities to enrich the learning experience of our members and ITP students. Through various initiatives, such as the annual ITP Funorama and the Tripartite Networking Night, and working closely with CEIT and corporate partners,  we bring out the best learning experience for those who wish to know more about commodity trading.

We have also started our very own student-led research arm, where students are split into three key sectors: Oil & Gas, Metals & Minerals and Agriculture Products. This provides our members with great head start by building up their fundamentals and knowledge early on. The insights and findings gained are then consolidated and shared with the rest of the International Trading Club in our monthly gatherings.
