Fairfax City Economic Development (FCED) and John Cabot University (JCU) have announced a new partnership aimed at advancing economic collaboration between Italian businesses and Fairfax City, Virginia. The partnership introduces the inaugural International Business Fellowship, a program that will allow three selected JCU students to engage in meaningful, hands-on work to promote Fairfax City as an ideal destination for Italian businesses seeking expansion into the United States market.

The program equips JCU students with practical experience in research, client engagement, and portfolio development, preparing them for careers in American business, government, and economic development. For FCED, the partnership enhances its international reach, opening doors for Italian businesses to explore opportunities in Fairfax City.
