TWG announces 2004 program for summer internship at Embassy

WASHINGTON - The Washington Group, in cooperation with the Embassy of Ukraine, is seeking candidates for its annual summer internship program at the Embassy.

Conducted by the TWG Fellowship Fund, the project aims to provide the Embassy with an intern to serve as a research assistant. In turn, that individual would gain valuable insight into the day-to-day operations of a foreign embassy in Washington.

Applicants should have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies and be proficient in English and Ukrainian. They should possess excellent oral and written communication skills, along with computer and Internet expertise. The intern should expect to assist the Embassy with needs and issues as they arise, including general office work.

Candidates should submit the following information no later than April 2: a one-page essay explaining their interest in the internship, preferred starting date (late May or June), and how their background and experience meet the goals of the project; copies of academic transcripts; one letter of recommendation and two references.

Applications should be sent to: TWG Fellowship Fund, Ukrainian Embassy Internship, P.O. Box 7951, McLean, VA 22106.

For more information, readers may log on to http://www.TheWashingtonGroup.org, or contact TWG Fellowship Fund Chair Michael Drabyk at [email protected].

The individual selected as the 2004 TWG Ukrainian Embassy intern will need to make visa and travel arrangements in advance, and already be in the Washington area ready to start the internship in either late May or June. The TWG Fellowship Fund regrettably cannot extend visa invitations to applicants, nor can it assist with other related visa or travel arrangements. The TWG Fellowship Fund is also unable to offer financial assistance to the intern beyond a stipend of $1,500.
