TWG announces Embassy internship

WASHINGTON - The Washington Group, an association of Ukrainian American professionals, in cooperation with the Embassy of Ukraine, is seeking candidates to participate in a two-month internship at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington.

The purpose of the project, which is being conducted under the auspices of the TWG Fellowship Committee, is to provide the Ukrainian Embassy with an intern who could serve as a research assistant to the embassy staff.

Candidates should: have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies; be fluent in English and Ukrainian; possess excellent oral and written communication skills; be able to demonstrate excellent computer skills, including database programs, and familiarity with the Internet; anticipate assisting the Embassy with whatever issues and needs should arise, including general office work; submit a one-page essay explaining their interest in the internship, when they would be available to participate in the project, and how their work, educational and personal experience would help meet the goals of the project; submit copies of academic transcripts and one letter of recommendation, and provide two references.

To be considered for the internship, candidates must submit this information to TWG no later than May 15.

The Washington Group Fellowship Committee will provide the successful candidate with a stipend of $1,500.

Application materials should be addressed to: The Washington Group Fellowship Committee, Ukrainian Embassy Internship Project, P.O. Box 11248, Washington, DC 20008.
