        The Foreign Agricultural Service's International Internship Program

internship at an American Embassy overseas. Through work assignments
participants learn various aspects of international trade, trade policy,
international relations, diplomacy, regional and cultural considerations,

        The internship is offered every semester and summer for graduate
students and upperclassmen (juniors and seniors). Requirements: Be a
currently enrolled graduate or undergraduate student (must be a junior or a
senior), a U.S. Citizen and in good academic standing. Graduate level

        This internship program is a great way to get international
experience and expose yourself to career fields you may never have
considered. Please do not let any part of the application intimidate you!
If you need help, that's my job to help you. It is completely doable! Also,
the application states that you must pay for your own transportation to
your job site. If that is a financial problem, still apply and we'll see
how we can find you financial assistance. Again, if you have any questions
or you decide to apply PLEASE LET ME KNOW! And please pass this email on to
any other students or list serves. Thank
you!
