February 18 Deadline for 2008 AGBU Paris and Yerevan Summer Internships New
York Program Receives Record Number of Applications
 
AGBU is currently accepting applications for its 2008 summer internship
programs in Paris and Yerevan (PSIP and YSIP). Deadline for applications for
both programs is February 18, 2008. College-age students interested in
gaining professional work experience and cultural exploration in an exciting
metropolis with other Armenian peers are highly encouraged to apply now.
 
The response to AGBU's New York Summer Intern Program (NYSIP), which
concluded its application process on December 15, 2007, was overwhelming,
and the program received the highest number of applications in its 20-year
history. The AGBU internship programs are well known in the community for
placing interns in highly competitive and valuable professional work
environments. Students have been placed in some of the most prestigious
institutions in New York, Paris and Yerevan. Past NYSIP participants have
worked at the United Nations, Sports Illustrated, New York 1 News, UBS Bank,
Channel Thirteen, Merrill Lynch and several prestigious law firms. Interns
in Paris have held positions at the Louvre Museum, Saint Anne Hospital, the
Paris Observatory and the Pierre and Marie Curie University. In only the
initial year of YSIP, AGBU interns in Yerevan have worked at the World
Health Organization, Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Armenia, National
Assembly, Central Bank, Cafesjian Museum Foundation and several leading
medical institutions.
 
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. The AGBU plans several
outings to the cities' museums, restaurants, performing arts centers, parks
and major monuments.
 
When students are not caught up in the hustle and bustle of such fascinating
cities, they will also be 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 have the opportunity to give back to the community through planned
service opportunities.
 
The internship programs strive to give participants not only a solid
professional foundation and sense of city life, but also a sense of personal
growth. Many internship alumni continue to give back to the programs through
mentorship events and are now leaders in their fields in various
international cities.  
 
Apply today as the deadline for PSIP and YSIP is fast approaching on
February 18, 2008. Students interested in receiving more information on the
AGBU programs can contact PSIP directly by emailing stages at ugabfrance.org

website, agbu.org under the "Downloadable Forms" pull-down menu.
