What It Is
The
Foreign National Student Intern Program is designed for students who are
non-U.S. citizens seeking internships with U.S. Missions abroad. The program benefits both posts and students
by providing the foreign national students with valuable educational experience
in U.S. Missions and by assisting posts in accomplishing their mission
goals. The purpose of the Foreign National
Student Intern Program is to offer students the challenge of working in a
foreign affairs arena and at the same time profit by their assistance. There are no benefits attached to this
internship and no compensation, nor any future employment rights. The program is open to all students and
provides the opportunity to work for a short period (not more than nine months) in the Embassy to
gain experience in various areas of foreign policy and management.
Who We Are
The U. S. Embassy in Seoul
is comprised of various U.S. Government agencies. The Department of State, the primary presence
at the Embassy, is the official international relations arm of the President of
the United States. The Department is
responsible for formulating, implementing and supporting U.S. foreign policy,
assisting U.S. citizens abroad and managing the human and material resources
that provide the platform for U.S. foreign policy. Members of the Department's Foreign Service
and Civil Service are engaged in issues such as conflict resolution, nuclear
non-proliferation, human rights and democracy, environmental issues, world
trade, public diplomacy, and the promotion of the interests of Americans and
their businesses abroad. Department of
State employees are also involved in support and management issues -- improving
logistical systems to get the best possible value for tax dollars. From time to time, a limited number of
positions may become available for student interns who will work with
Department of State (DOS), Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), and Foreign Commercial
Service (FCS) offices in the Embassy.
