Dhimbil Posted February 16, 2006 The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service's International Internship Program has a PAID internship program and is in need of applicants! 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), a 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 the website below. http://www.fas.usda.gov/admin/student/IIP_Brochure.pdf 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 FAS will see how they may be able to find financial assistance for the student. Please feel free to pass this on to your network.
