U.S. Embassy Summer Internships
U.S. Embassy Summer Internships: 90 Locations Worldwide
Deadline: March 15, 2006
Spend a summer working in a U.S. Embassy in one of 90 locations throughout the world! The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service's International Internship Program is a PAID internship program and is in need of applicants! As of this week, the program has only received 3 applications nationwide!
The Foreign Agricultural Service's International Internship Program provides college students the opportunity to live and work in a paid internship at an American Embassy overseas. Through work assignments participants learn various aspects of international trade, trade policy, international relations, diplomacy, regional and cultural considerations, etc. Positions are available in Western Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
The internship is offered every semester and summer for graduate students and upperclassmen (juniors and seniors).
Requirements:
Be a currently enrolled graduate or undergraduate student (must be a junior or a senior)
U.S. citizen and in good academic standing
Graduate level students in business, international relations, regional studies (i.e. Latin American Studies, Asian Studies, etc), public policy, foreign languages, etc., as well as high-achieving junior and senior undergraduates in similar majors are particularly encouraged to apply, though the program is open to all majors.
Please see the application at this website: www.fas.usda.gov/admin/student/summerintern.htm
This internship program is a great way to get international experience and expose yourself to career fields you may never have considered. Please do not let any part of the application intimidate you! If you need help, that's my job to help you. It is completely doable! Also, the application states that you must pay for your own transportation to your job site. If that is a financial problem, still apply and we'll see how we can find you financial assistance.
Again, if you have any questions or you decide to apply please let me know. And please pass this email on to any other students or listserves.
