Deadline Quickly Approaching for New York, with Moscow and Yerevan to Follow
Applications are now being accepted for AGBU's 2013 Summer Internship Program, putting the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live and work in some of the world's most exciting cities within reach for Armenian university students. This year's applicants will have the chance to join the ranks of over a thousand program alumni who have risen to the top of their fields. The competitive selective process is already underway and AGBU is urging all interested students to apply now.
With destinations in Moscow, New York and Yerevan, the AGBU Summer Internship Program's reputation precedes itself: in each location, AGBU enjoys relationships with top institutions — from Fortune 500 companies to top public sector organizations — where students receive one-on-one guidance and key industry insights from experienced supervisors. In recent years, AGBU has proudly congratulated numerous participants who have been welcomed to the staff of their host companies and pursued successful careers. No matter where their internships take them, students leave the program equipped with the necessary resources, critical skills and strong resumes to advance themselves.
For over 25 years, the AGBU Summer Internship Program has not only given students hands-on professional training, but a complete cultural immersion experience, as well. Each site offers something different — and equally rewarding. In Yerevan, meetings with government officials and community leaders help students understand the country's political and economic climate today, while tours of historical landmarks and a 4-day journey to Karabakh bring them closer to their past. In Moscow, participants look forward to weekly Russian language classes and a mid-summer trip to St. Petersburg, which has become a favorite annual tradition. In New York, a string of career seminars, networking events and social activities give meaning to the phrase “the city that never sleeps.” No matter where they are, community service is an important part of every AGBU intern's experience. Working side by side with their international peers, they volunteer in orphanages, senior citizen homes or wherever there is a need, strengthening the local Armenian diaspora community.
Parents and students can rest assured that from the moment the summer sessions begin, interns are accompanied by a warm and knowledgeable staff that helps them navigate the complexities of a new city and ensures an unforgettable summer for all. Scholarships are awarded to students based on need and academic merit.
