Overview
FATE USA is proud to introduce its Consultant/Internship
Referral Program for 2004. Through this program, FATE USA
will connect consultants and students (enrolled in undergraduate
and graduate programs in the United States) with entrepreneurs
in Nigeria.
This program has two primary objectives. First, it enables
Nigerian entrepreneurs to access intelligent and committed
students and consultants who can provide management support
and technical assistance to the companies over a pre-determined
period of time. Second, it provides a unique opportunity
for students and consultants to gain exposure to the Nigerian
business environment and specific industries within this
context. It also allows them to learn about the challenges
and rewards associated with establishing and growing successful
businesses.
Logistics for the Summer 2004 Program
For Students/Consultants
Interested students and consultants should submit their

in developing country.
FATE USA will screen these resumes and will forward them

training prior to departure, and depending on need, a
stipend, your resourcefulness in covering the costs of
your trip increases the likelihood that you will be matched
with an entrepreneur.)
