    2006 NYSIP Interns with Supervisors at the Supervisor’s Reception.

The AGBU New York and Paris Summer Intern Programs (NYSIP and PSIP) are currently accepting applications for the 2007 summer sessions, having concluded another successful year in 2006 with 34 interns from seven countries.

Now in their 20th and 4th seasons respectively, NYSIP and PSIP provide interns with unique and valuable opportunities to work with some of the most prestigious institutions in the world. Past internship placements in New York have included the United Nations, Columbia University Medical Center, Merrill Lynch and Sports Illustrated. Internships in Paris have included the Louvre Museum, Saint Ann Hospital, and Universal Music Mobile.

The New York and Paris Summer Intern Programs consist not only of professional experience in the workplace, but also cultural and life lessons for the up-and-coming Armenian youth. Participants take part in seminars on résumé-writing, interviewing, and job networking tips, as well as tourist activities in order to take advantage of all that each city has to offer. The internship programs simultaneously include community service and other activities that emphasize the importance of giving back to the Armenian community.

NYSIP was launched in 1987, and was conceptualized by Vartkess and Rita Balian out of the AGBU Central Office in New York. The Paris Summer Intern Program was initiated in 2003 by the AGBU France District Committee. The programs strive to give interns a solid foundation for returning to their local communities with both enhanced strength in their Armenian identity and increased direction for their future careers. NYSIP and PSIP hope participants will benefit from a closer connection to their cultural identity and become successful professionals and future leaders in their communities.

Application deadlines are fast approaching; submissions are due December 14, 2006 for NYSIP and January 12, 2007 for PSIP. Students interested in receiving information or downloading applications can contact NYSIP at nysip@agbu.org and PSIP at stages@ugabfrance.org.
