AGBU is currently accepting applications for its 2009 summer internship programs in Paris and Yerevan (PSIP and YSIP). The deadline for applications for both programs is March 15, 2009. College-age students interested in gaining professional work experience and cultural exploration in an exciting metropolis, along with other Armenian peers, are highly encouraged to apply now.
Each summer, students are exposed to the dynamic culture of their host cities while working in some of the leading companies, organizations and governmental offices. Students are also given informational lectures on a variety of worthwhile topics, like resume writing, interviewing, job networking and Armenian culture and heritage from several prestigious speakers. Interns also learn to give back to the community through planned volunteer service opportunities.
The internship programs strive to give participants not only a solid professional foundation, but also a sense of personal growth. Many internship alumni continue to give back to the programs and their local Armenian communities in various ways.
In addition to gaining professional experience and making network connections in their fields of interest, interns also have the chance to explore the unique cultures of their host city. Outings planned by AGBU include visits to the cities' museums, restaurants, performing arts centers, parks and major monuments.
Apply today as the deadline for PSIP and YSIP is fast approaching. Students interested in receiving more information on the AGBU programs can contact PSIP directly by emailing stages@agbueurope.org and YSIP by emailing ysip@agbu.org.
All forms are now available online at the AGBU flagship website, agbu.org, under the "Downloadable Forms" pull-down menu.
