Internship programs are an excellent way to acquire work experience
with resume flagship organizations and companies. The U.S. Department of State2013 Fall Student Internship Program is an unpaid opportunity for college
students to participate in a 10-week program. It may be an unpaid internship
but it provides an intensive educational and professional experience within the
environment of America’s principle foreign affairs agency. That is a plus for
anyone's resume.
These unpaid internships are available at many over 265 U.S.
embassies, consulates and missions to international organizations around the
world, as well as at the Department of State in Washington, D.C. The U.S. intern
participants will gain first-hand, hands-on experience, and learn the realities
of working in and with foreign and civil service professionals.
As an unpaid intern, you may have the opportunity to participate
in meetings with senior level U.S. government or foreign government officials;
draft, edit, or contribute to cables, reports, communications, talking points used
by policy makers. In addition to helping organize and support events, including
international, multilateral and conferences meetings on critical global issues.
The internship is for the Fall 2013 with the U.S. Department
of State and you may even earn educational credit depending upon your college.
