Mitsubishi Electric Internship Program

I am pleased to announce that with the vital support of the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation, USICD is launching our first internship program, and I write to ask for your assistance in disseminating this announcement to potential applicants for this exciting program.

The Youth in Development program (YiD) will bring a small group of talented college students, graduate students, and recent graduates with disabilities to Washington, DC this summer for immersion in the international affairs and development field.  Interns will serve for nine weeks in nongovernmental organizations that work within the field, participate in core training and networking activities provided by USICD, and have a unique opportunity to hone their experience and career trajectory.

Participating interns will be matched to a host organization and receive a stipend, travel expenses, and fully-accessible housing for the summer of 2013.

The program follows from a vision, core to USICD’s mission, to increase disability inclusion in U.S. foreign affairs by supporting future professionals to invest their skills and talents in this field.  A successful candidate will have shared in their application their preparation for a career in international development and foreign affairs, their vision of their future, and how a Washington, DC internship will aid their career development.

To learn more about YiD and how to apply, please visit USICD’s Youth in Development Initiative page: http://usicd.org/template/page.cfm?id=257

Please note: the application deadline for the 2013 summer program is February 18, 2013.
