The focus is Paraguay, the only South American country that still recognizes Taiwan.	Department of State	2	L-STATE-PRY-1	Chinese-Mandarin , Spanish	Analytical writing, Cultural diplomacy, Economic analysis, Research	We are looking for creative self-starters with an interest in how China is managing its influence in Latin America - specifically, Paraguay. As the only country in South American that still recognizes Taiwan, Paraguay has no formal China presence. Businesses from China often function as de facto representatives of China, whether intentionally or unintentionally. In this project, interns will focus on companies such as Huawei and COFCO, using traditional media, social media, and other online material as sources. Interns will examine areas such as how these companies seek to connect to the local population or culture, corporate social responsibility and/or sponsorship activities, marketing trends, partnerships with Paraguayan businesses and government entities, and linkages between Paraguayan staff or spokespeople and other Paraguayan businesses. This project is linked to a broader VSFS project titled "Tracking Chinese Influence Across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada."		Paraguay		Good Spanish reading comprehension skills are a must.

Russian helpful; Analytical writing, Economic analysis, Political Analysis, Research	Russian Far East Research Assistant	Help inform U.S. foreign policy making and reporting by doing deep-dive research on political and economic issues in the Russian Far East that would be of interest to the U.S. State Department in Washington.	Department of State	2	STATE-RUS-33	Russian	Analytical writing, Economic analysis, Political Analysis, Research	The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok is seeking assistance with deep dive research on select political and economic issues in the Russian Far East. Consulate Vladivostok covers the largest consular district in the world by landmass, and while the Russian Far East is not densely populated, it is of enormous strategic and economic importance to Russia. The Political and Economic Section of the consulate is responsible for monitoring and reporting on nearly all developments in the region, but certain subjects require more in-depth study and the careful collection of data from a variety of sources. The Consulate is seeking interns to assist in this research, both collecting information online and packaging it in an easy-to-digest form. The subject matter of the research will depend on current events and the reporting priorities of the consulate during the course of the internship. However, work might include learning as much as possible about a certain economic sector (e.g., gold mining in Magadan or tourism in Kamchatka), or collecting data about foreign direct investment in different regions, etc. As another example, if the internship were taking place at the time of writing (May 2020), the intern might be asked to collect information on regional government efforts' to support small and medium businesses in response to the COVID-19 economic shock. The interns' work product will depend on the nature of the subject being researched. Interns may be asked to write a brief report summarizing their finding, but more often will be presenting their research in the form of hyperlinks with brief explanatory notes. For certain issues, particularly those with data from different regions, a spreadsheet or chart may be created, and in some cases the work product will simply be answers to specific questions. There will also be an opportunity for the interns to assist in social media research, a relatively new but extremely important and exciting area of diplomatic reporting. While not strictly required, Russian language skills would be extremely useful for this internship. Even moderate proficiency would allow the intern to do Russian-language google searches that might reveal information an English-only search would not. (Applicants with less Russian might prefer the Russian Far East News Monitor internship, which is more structured and does not require searches)	VLADIVOSTOK	Russia		The Russian Far East covers the following 12 regions/districts: Primorye (where Vladivostok is located), Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, Yakutsk, Kamchatka, Magadan, Chukotka, Amur, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Irkutsk, Buryatia, and Transbaikal. Primary Point of Contact at the Consulate would be Political/Economic officer Fred Noyes, whose email is NoyesFN@state.gov. Interns might also communicate with Economic Assistant Nastya Yeremeyeva at YeremeyevaAA@state.gov.

When these Yemenis become ex-combatants and lack non-fighting options, a DDR plan - especially the reintegration portion – could potentially keep ex-combatants from becoming spoilers of the political agreement.

Our mission is to educate and inspire all visitors through engaging programs and exhibits that showcase how diplomacy has shaped our nation’s history and how diplomacy continues to play a vital role in their lives. The NMAD Education Program illuminates the world of American diplomacy for students through high-quality, hands-on simulations, storytelling, and artifacts. NMAD’s education team manages a robust series of resources on the museum’s website, to which it’s constantly adding. All of the current and new materials need branding and design in accordance with NMAD’s style guide. These materials include student worksheets, teacher manuals, promotional materials, presentations, and more. Although all materials will be designed to complement the look and feel of the museum, there is room for creative input! NMAD seeks an intern to redesign new physical and digital materials according to the museum’s style guide. Your designs will be presented to our staff for feedback and input. We recommend that an intern who fills this position have a mentor, professor, or instructor who can assist with technical guidance and questions. In your application, include information on your proficiency and experience with design software and platforms. You will need to have your own access to these programs. Previous interns have used Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. If interested, intern(s) may be asked to assist with content development.

Department of State	1	L-STATE-TJK-28		Cultural diplomacy, Educational design, Writing	Tajikistan's cohort of 38 students selected for the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX), a year attending an American high school and living with a host family, were unfortunately unable to travel for their program due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although most have since enrolled in universities in Tajikistan, Embassy Dushanbe has designed a virtual program to provide them with professional development and workplace skills, advanced English language training, and opportunities to remotely experience U.S. culture in preparation for a possible face-to-face experience during summer 2021. We are seeking an American intern who can serve as the primary English language trainer for the group as well as provide occasional lessons on American culture and values and connections to U.S. based universities and organizations that might be willing to deliver presentations and workshops. Each of the students have already at least intermediate-advanced English skills, and due to the large number, it will likely be necessary to divide them into groups. The intern may choose to conduct lessons using a combination of synchronous classes and asynchronous lessons and assignments. The project will be managed through Embassy Dushanbe, with additional assistance from American Councils (who implements the FLEX program in Tajikistan). We envision the students meeting approximately once a week for English language programs plus possible home assignments. The virtual course will last through the middle of June, at which point, depending on the COVID-19 situation in Tajikistan and the world, the Embassy will decide what form face-to-face programming might take.	DUSHANBE	Tajikistan		Although not required, Tajik/Farsi or Russian language skills will be helpful and prior experience in Central Asian countries will be a plus. Because the students will be in school during the workday, synchronous programming will need to take place during the hours of 4-8pm Dushanbe time (7-11am EDT).	2020-09-28 14:29:23	1	PAS	3554

The Office of UN Political Affairs in the Bureau of International Organization Affairs (IO/UNP) desires a content analysis of the SYG’s official and press statements that assess the content to determine “favorability,” “un-favorability” or “neutral” to a given member (note: one statement could be both favorable to one member and unfavorable to another), focusing on statements that deal with issues important to the United States, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Syria, and Venezuela (although this list may be expanded).

Department of State	4	STATE-USA-OES-3		Data analysis, Data visualization, Economic analysis, Editing and proofreading, Graphic design, Political Analysis, Research, Infographic design, Writing, Storytelling/blogging/vlogging	NGO Global Witness and its partners documented in July 2019 the killing of more than 164 environmental and land defenders in 2018 – an average of more than three people each week – and 207 killings in 2017, the highest year reported. Many deaths go unreported; many more environmental defenders face abduction, assault, spurious lawsuits, and other threats. NGO Front Line Defenders reported in January 2020 that 40% of the 304 human rights defenders killed in 2019 were defending land, environmental, or indigenous peoples’ rights, often in the context of extractive industries and state-aligned megaprojects. Although this was a decrease from 77% of the HRDs killed in 2018, Front Line Defenders reported environmental, land, and indigenous defense remains the most dangerous sector of human rights defense In numerous international fora, this issue is emerging as a critical problem largely unaddressed by governments. The violence is damaging U.S. foreign policy interests relating to the environment, democracy and governance, commerce, energy, and law enforcement. To reduce this violence, OES needs virtual interns to assist a senior advisor for environment as she develops a proposed approach for the Department, coordinates with other U.S. agencies, and ideally positions our strategy to inform a global response. Given the rigorous nature of the research to be presented to embassies and an interagency working group, we are seeking interns who can devote on average a minimum of 20 hours a week to this internship.

China has challenged the United States’ influence abroad through initiatives such as the One Belt One Road, investments by Chinese banks, and the implementation of critical network infrastructures, such as 5G. This soft-power grab by China has enabled the regime to root itself deep within East Asia, Africa, and Europe. With the fallout of COVID-19, it appears the pendulum may swing due to increased skepticism in the CCP and the prudence outsourcing manufacturing across the globe. These events will allow the United States to be more aggressive with the regime and better protect its interests at home and abroad.

Department of State	1	STATE-MKD-48		Data analysis, Data visualization, Political Analysis, Research, Writing	As China's influence grows globally, the United States government has taken a keen interest in better understanding the nature and scope of China's ambitions. The U.S.-China bilateral relationship has been called the most consequential relationship in the world, but in many ways that relationship itself depends on the ways third countries perceive and interact with both countries. While Chinese topics such as the Belt and Road Initiative, South China Sea expansion, and the U.S.-China "trade war" have made headlines, far less understood are China's aspirations within the Balkans, despite the region's importance in many U.S. foreign relations priorities. In this project, VSFS interns would provide vanguard research into how various Chinese actors are approaching relationships within North Macedonia. This includes not only the government (central, provincial, and municipal) but companies (public and private), institutions (cultural, academic, scientific, etc), and private citizens (such as tourists or exchange programs).

Department of State	1	STATE-JAM-104		Coding, Data analysis, Data visualization, Design thinking, Research, Infographic design, Writing	Embassy Kingston's consular section processes tens of thousands of visa applicants every year, most via a large public waiting area that uses queues for a variety of visa processing steps, including an in-person visa interview with a Consular Officer. Managing these large queues is a challenge under normal circumstances. The constraints and spacing requirements presented by COVID mean we have to re-examine and re-orient our traditional approaches to queuing in the interests of both processing efficiency and public health. In this project, an intern with a background in systems engineering or operational research would apply queue theory and stochastic modelling to help our section develop better approaches to the queuing and staging of visa applicants under a variety of conditions and scenarios. As a secondary objective, the intern would develop a basic application that a non-specialist could employ to adjust and redesign established queues in response to new variables or emergent conditions (such as those presented by the COVID crisis) or to enhance applicant throughput. The project offers students in the area of probability theory a unique applied project that directly serves the interests of a U.S. Embassy overseas, and which could offer benefits to a range of similar consular operations around the world.

To date, 40 embassies and consulates have air quality monitors which are often the only source of real-time, transparent, and reliable air quality data in the country. While Malaysia posts some air quality data regularly, they do not yet use EPA NowCast standards and do not have historical reference data available. Embassy Kuala Lumpur will soon host its own reference grade monitor and we will need help comparing its findings to those already reporting in Malaysia. The two interns will track air quality readings from Malaysia Department of Environment’s air quality monitoring system and the Embassy’s own air quality monitor, to determine if there is a significant deviation between the two, as well as conduct a broader analysis of air quality trends within Malaysia.

Through research and analysis, you will provide insight into this evolving landscape and how Jordan should prepare for new opportunities and challenges.	Department of State	1	L-STATE-USA-NEA-99	Arabic	Analytical writing, Economic analysis, Political Analysis, Research, Writing	Few of us have experienced the promised benefits of 5G technology, including self-driving cars, the Internet of Things, instantaneous downloads, and augmented reality, but advocates for 5G proclaim the opportunities are boundless. Nevertheless, there are serious risks that America’s adversaries will seek to exploit the new technology and set the rules of the game in a way that undercuts our own interests. Jordan is an important partner to the United States, and the U.S. Embassy in Amman is committed to sharing our insights with Jordan to help its leaders manage the development of its 5G capabilities securely. Through this internship, you will primarily conduct research into emerging trends in information and communications technology (ICT) with a focus on 5G, and advise on how Jordanian policymakers, private industry, and civil society can best integrate these technologies in Jordan. You will submit research papers and presentations throughout your internship on where Jordan should focus its attention in improving the ICT sector, identify barriers to expanding 5G capabilities, and along the way, provide shorter research papers on topics like data security, cyber security, cryptocurrencies, blockchain/distributed ledger technology, privacy, regulation, spectrum pricing and auctions, the role of energy in ICT, and other topics suggested by your supervisor. Most of the information on these trends will be global in nature, but we will also ask you to investigate these issues in regional countries and comparator countries which can serve as a model for Jordan. Additionally, you will compile a weekly roundup of media coverage of 5G and ICT issues to be distributed broadly across the U.S. Embassy Amman 5G interest group. In addition, you are encouraged to dive deeply into other relevant topics you may discover through your research. The papers and analyses you develop thought this internship will support advocacy efforts of State Department officers in the field, contribute to the development of Jordan’s ICT sector and identifying areas where U.S. government efforts and funding should be focused. Your primary sources will be open-source media, academic research, trade journals, and other resources available in libraries or over the internet. Ability to work dependently and timely is important. Research ability is a must. Equally important is comfort with numbers, technical terms and concepts related to ICT. Technical knowledge of communications systems is not required but would be helpful to understand potentially complex issues. Familiarity with Jordan, the Middle East, or Arabic is also helpful but not required. You will be in touch with your mentor by email once a week, and by phone twice a month. Expected time commitment is 5-8 hours per week.		United States		None.	2020-10-15 14:34:09	1		3570

Cultural diplomacy, Educational design	Promote English language and American culture through virtual programs in Mauritania	The American Embassy to Mauritania's Public Affairs Section is looking for a committed intern with a genuine interest to support young Mauritanians eager to improve their English language skills and their understanding of the American Culture.	Department of State	1	STATE-MRT-4		Cultural diplomacy, Educational design	The intern will have two main tasks: 1) Prepare material and facilitate sessions for intermediate to advanced ESL students in a variety of topics. Some possible examples include: job seeking skills, aspects of American culture, American holidays, aspects of U.S. history, research games, developing sketches, health information, etc. 2) Assist with monitoring and managing the U.S. Embassy English Club WhatsApp groups by posting and sharing with students any useful materials related to English Language learning and understanding the American culture. 3) (optional) If possible, the Intern will develop 3-4 short Facebook campaigns on issues similar to the ones in task #1, e.g.; Islam in America; daily life of a student at U.S. university; and job hunting skills. The campaigns could be video-based and/or static. Each campaign should be in English only.	NOUAKCHOTT	Mauritania		American Corner Session Facilitation Assistance The American Corner ISERI (High Institute for Research and Islamic Studies) is a U.S. Embassy-equipped space in Nouakchott Islamic research center that serves as a resource center for information and programs highlighting American culture, history, current events, and government. American Corner ISERI, like most U.S. American Spaces around the world, typically host discussion groups, seminars, digital video conferencing (DVCs), poster exhibits, and meetings with U.S. and local specialists on a wide range of American-focused topics for a young audience aged 18 to 35. Partnership between the American Embassy and ISERI started in 2004. More than 30 students and several community members visit the corner every day (Monday to Thursday) to use resources (computers, books) or attend a session. A Mauritanian American Spaces Manager working at the U.S. Embassy is responsible for overseeing activities at the ISERI American Corner. That same American Spaces Manager will be the Intern’s principle point of contact in Mauritania throughout the internship. The intern will be expected to facilitate four 90-minute sessions a month (live or recorded via Zoom or Skype) or prepare the session materials and share them with the American Spaces Manager who will facilitate them in-person. The Intern will prepare a one- to two- page monthly report of his/her activities. The Intern and the American Spaces Manager will communicate via mail, Skype or phone on a regular basis to update each other. Helping manage WhatsApp Groups: In order to keep in touch with our audience, the U.S. Embassy to Mauritania’s American Spaces Manager created five different WhatsApp groups which share either level or interests, or both. There are 200 to 256 people in each WhatsApp group. In addition to serving as a communication tool, the groups are also used as open platforms for the sharing of English learning material (videos, riddles, short texts, Ted Talks, links to useful articles, etc.). The groups are extremely useful but need constant monitoring in terms of content. The American Spaces Manager is responsible for their overall management and ensuring the posts are consistent with the Embassy’s goals. He regularly adds new people on request and delete some for not complying with our rules (for example, all posts should be in English language, non-political and non-derogatory against any person or group of people). The Intern will be expected to help monitor the groups whenever possible, at his or her convenience, and post information they find useful for the participants. Optional task: Facebook campaigns U.S. Embassy Nouakchott social media campaigns have been very limited due to staff time and capacity. We would like to inject more American elements into our Facebook page, but on themes with which our Mauritanian readership can identify. A campaign by the intern on Islam in America, for example, would be popular. Other themes we are seeking to incorporate and promote in our Facebook feed include: job hunting skills; how to obtain a scholarship in with an American University; how to identify American universities with low tuition fees; security (everything from countering violent extremism, to women’s self defense); Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills for youth; freedom of expression (especially in the arts) and association; youth entrepreneurship; social cohesion and decreasing discrimination based on gender, race, ethnicity, language, religion or tribe, among others; and English language learning.	2020-05-18 07:49:09	1	PAS	2785

Department of State	1	STATE-USA-ENR-12	Spanish	Data visualization, Economic analysis, Editing and proofreading, Research, Writing	Growth in the Americas (or America Crece) is a U.S. government initiative that seeks to catalyze private sector investment in energy and other infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our goal is to foster job creation and jumpstart economic growth by facilitating urgently needed energy and infrastructure projects. ENR serves as the interagency lead of the Energy pillar under America Crece, working with other U.S. Government entities to coordinate our work to support and promote private investment. Energy policy and energy security fundamentally affect economic growth and a country’s ability to prosper. This is even more important in the wake of COVID-19, as countries respond to both public health and economic crises and seek to hasten their economic recovery. As such, the foreign policy dimension of energy policy has never been more important in the Western Hemisphere. America Crece centers on building an enabling environment for private sector investment in energy and other infrastructure that is transparent, competitive, and in line with international best practices. We have a wide array of tools, including diplomatic engagement, exchanges, and technical assistance, to assist countries in actions such as conducting fair and transparent bid rounds, establishing fair and transparent regulations, and creating good governance and practices. Growth in the America / America Crece's work often focuses on working with countries to create the right conditions to attract U.S. investment. In this project, VSFS interns would provide research into how private companies decide when to invest in a country's energy sector, examining barriers that prevent private investment in Latin America and the Caribbean and identifying new opportunities for investment. Interns would also track examples of new deals involving U.S. energy companies in Latin America and the Caribbean to illustrate and analyze how private industry respond to a country's attempts to improve their investment environment. Interns would work with the ENR America Crece team lead to create a tracker of major engagements through time, in addition to drafting reports for use by policy makers.

To do so, it employs five major lines of effort: 1) Exporting methods of authoritarian political control through party-to-party training; 2) actively intervening in African domestic politics to ensure preferred partners on the continent adhere to China’s priorities; 3) promoting its model of techno-authoritarianism through the sale of advanced surveillance technology to African governments; 4) shaping Africa’s media landscape by promoting narratives favorable to Beijing in local and regional media, sponsoring training for African journalists, and leading the continent’s media migration from analog to digital technology; and 5) leveraging its influence to achieve other key objectives, such as garnering African support for Beijing’s broader diplomatic priorities, especially at the UN. This project will analyze and report on Beijing’s political activities on the African continent and assess the implications of these activities for the United States.

The opportunities this team will address are as diverse as the organization and will include senior leadership. Be a key part of the team to solve the wicked problems facing the launch and work of the Design Lab. Your fellow team members will reflect the diversity of the State Department. How can the Lab generate design solutions that best address strategic and organizational issues? How can the Lab shape strategy and weave together insights and recommendations into a clear actionable plan? How do we monitor, measure and display impact? How do we convince bright, skeptical colleagues of the value of design thinking? How do we prioritize projects? Are there components of our work for which we can create a DIY guide? What should our internal, customer-focused intranet look like? How do we create an intake funnel that is not bureaucratic or overly process laden? What are a tiered series of design thinking activities the Lab can offer, from quick, introductory exercises to extended, deep-dives? How do we prevent “success-failure” whereby demand for our service outstrips our ability to deliver? How can the Lab’s impact scale exponentially, when human and capital resources scale linearly? Launching a new institution provides opportunities to develop and demonstrate many skills.

United States		What is the best way to land your dream job out of college? Having already done what your dream employer is looking for in a new hire. And what do employers most look for in a new employee? Competencies they don’t already have in-house. Employers know how to do what they are already doing, but something new often leads to gnashing of teeth and fitful sleep. In the startup world, big companies sometimes tackle new challenges through talent acquisitions via acqui-hires. They buy a startup, not for the product or service, but for the talent, often paying over a million dollars per start up employee that joins the acquiring company. That’s a lot to spend to hire someone to solve a problem! So, how do you gain eye-catching skills while still in college? By joining a greenfield initiative through the VSFS that taps into your unique knowledge of human centered design together with your network of fellow students and professors. Showing that you have helped successfully launch a high-profile initiative in the oldest cabinet agency in the U.S. government will get your prospective dream employer’s attention.	2020-06-10 09:27:55	1		3209

Department of State	20	STATE-RUS-28		Cultural diplomacy, Educational design	The Virtual Intern develops U.S. culture lesson plans and delivers them by video conference to Russian students in U.S. Embassy Moscow-supported programs. The Intern is expected to interact for 60-90 minutes with approximately 14-20 students. The goal is for the students to have a chance to speak English with a U.S. citizen. Interns will work with the teacher to determine appropriate topics for discussion, based on the material the students are working with at the time of the virtual meetings. Topics could include popular culture or education. A usual lesson would see the intern present on a topic of U.S. culture (language, national parks, geographical aspects of culture, food, music, holidays, high school life, etc) for about 10-15 minutes, including photographs. Then the intern would ask questions about the presentation and afterwards ask questions for the students to answer about their own culture. The intern is asked to create these lessons. The difference in time zones may require early morning or late night sessions and the video conferencing program may be provided by the teacher, though the intern can suggest a platform also.	MOSCOW	Russia		The English learners for this internship include students from the following two U.S. Embassy Moscow programs: The English Access Microscholarship program (https://exchanges.state.gov/non-us/program/english-access-microscholarship-program) provides young disadvantaged but motivated students aged 13-16 with English language, U.S. culture, and leadership skills throughout the 2-year program; the Advance through Vocational English program is for underemployed 21-35 year olds and provides English, entrepreneurship, and management skills over 9 months. The Virtual Intern will create lessons so that the Access/Advance students can converse in English and learn about U.S. culture while sharing information about Russian culture to the Virtual Intern. The purpose of the lessons is to increase English fluency and knowledge about the United States. Topics can be chosen by the Virtual Intern or by the collaboration among the Virtual Intern, the Access/Advance teachers, and the students. Possible topics include traditions, food, hobbies, U.S. sports, holidays, famous people, and other interesting topics. The Virtual Intern can play games, give information, and have a discussion based on that information, role play, have a Q&A session, or teach the students something. It is recommended to plan different activities each lesson. The Virtual Intern can use materials from many sources to create these lessons, including https://americanenglish.state.gov/resources/celebrate-holidays-usa https://americanenglish.state.gov/culture-music-and-game-resources https://americanenglish.state.gov/four-skills-resources https://www.si.edu/educators https://learningenglish.voanews.com/ Additionally, the Virtual Intern can always reach out to Regional English Language Officer Kelli Odhuu for additional lesson ideas or to help solve issues with the sessions.	2020-05-15 03:53:54	1	PAS	2770

Office seeks to make all video media Section 508-compliant and accessible to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.	Department of State	4	STATE-USA-HR-36		Editing and proofreading, Research, Writing	The Department has developed a comprehensive video captioning program to provide captioning to all video produced domestically and overseas. Captioning makes information and news accessible to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and enables non-native-English speakers to understand important information. Primarily, the intern will create accurate video transcripts, varying in length from one to 60 minutes. Examples of these videos might include: 1. A YouTube video of the Secretary speaking at an international conference, 2. A webinar on the use of social media in diplomacy, or 3. An informational video outlining consular services and procedures at an embassy. Interns may also work on projects related to Video Captioning and Transcribing. This internship will provide broad exposure to public diplomacy and foreign policy issues, as well as issues of interest to Civil Service employees. Other assignments may include: 1. Scanning YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms for uncaptioned videos hosted by embassies, consulates, or other groups within the Department of State. 2. Research projects relating to audio description, technology in video captioning, etc. 3. Creating marketing products for Video Captioning team outreach. 4. Create and contribute to an internal newsletter/blog which will be housed on the internal Video Captioning SharePoint site. 5. Participating in periodic conference calls with other interns and the Video Captioning team, discussing projects and related issues. 6. Other assignments related to Section 508, audio description, and/or video captioning, as needed. Guidelines will be provided, but successful interns will also need to have considerable flexibility, as it is impossible to predict the actual work level on a weekly basis. The ability to work well both independently and on a team is important. At first, interns may find it takes a considerable amount of time to caption one video. Ultimately, interns will be expected to meet a ratio of approximately 1:8 (1 hour of video: 8 hours of transcribing and captioning). Assuming a time commitment of 10 hours per week, interns will, after time given to learn and improve the skills necessary, be expected to transcribe and/or caption up to one hour of video per week. The abilities to work independently and remain self-motivated are crucial to this project. The intern will be working with other virtual interns; therefore, communication and flexibility are also highly important. Accurate typing skills and attention to detail are important as well.		United States		If you want to get an idea of the kinds of videos you would be captioning, search YouTube or Facebook for any U.S. embassy and see what kinds of videos they have posted. If you speak a foreign language, you may also have the opportunity to caption in that language.	2020-05-20 13:44:52	1		2820

Department of State	6	STATE-USA-OES-39		Cultural diplomacy, Research, Social media management, Writing, Storytelling/blogging/vlogging	As part of a team of up to six virtual interns, you will have an opportunity to work closely with the Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs (OPA), the State Department office that develops and implements U.S. foreign policy as it relates to the Arctic region and leads U.S. participation in the Arctic Council, the intergovernmental forum of the eight Arctic States. As an intern, you will assist in designing a youth engagement action plan to enhance collaboration between the State Department and U.S. Arctic communities in Alaska, and to identify opportunities for amplifying youth engagement at the State Department and in the Arctic Council. This youth action plan will also include steps to engage with audiences in the American Arctic on issues ranging from sustainable development to environmental protection to Arctic governance as we conduct public outreach to explain the value of U.S. diplomacy at home and abroad. Efforts could entail researching and introducing proposals for ways in which youth voices are incorporated into policy-making in a meaningful and sustainable way. Interns will be encouraged, as a part of the youth action plan design, to collaborate virtually with others from across the Arctic region on proposals for communicating youth contributions to or through the State Department and Arctic Council, whether through social media, dedicated websites, or other means. Interns may also develop social media content of regional relevance and interest on topics relevant to the Arctic governments and indigenous peoples. Your work will bolster OPA’s digital storytelling capabilities by creating engaging, creative materials for social media and digital communications. You will perform research to identify best practices, future partners, and opportunities for engagement for Arctic-focused outreach programs. When feasible, interns will also observe and participate in local events on relevant Arctic matters. If you are interested in the intersection between the Arctic, diplomacy, and youth engagement, this is a perfect internship for you!

Join our team to study domestic tourism in China and its influence on the economy. How is COVID-19 shaping this crucial industry, from the Winter Olympic Games of 2022 to the healthcare and tracking apps.	Department of State	1	STATE-CHN-56	Chinese-Mandarin	Analytical writing, Data analysis, Economic analysis, Editing and proofreading, Research, Writing	The Economic Section of Mission China seeks a detailed-oriented, curious, self-motivated, and reliable intern with an interest in foreign affairs and economy to research data on tourism from China, on all aspects: Winter Olympics 2022, healthcare and tracking apps, digital tourism, Airbnb and Tujia, etc. You would be responsible for researching data and scan the news for emerging trends, including monitoring the development of Chinese actors on the U.S. market (example: Trip.com). Compile data, figures, trends; prepare analyses and summaries. Track statements and policies that can affect tourism flows between the two countries. A report on findings shall be sent every week, at the end of the week. Periodically, you would be called up to compile media reaction to a specific event, activity, or policy. You also have the opportunity to create informal surveys, talking to travel agencies or Chinese people. Reports could be illustrated with infographics to present findings.	BEIJING	China		The tourism sector contributed $1.6 trillion to the U.S. GDP, or 7.8 percent, and supported 15.7 million jobs in 2019. It is the largest category of U.S. services exported to China. Chinese tourists in the U.S. represented only three percent of international visitors but 11 percent of tourism spending. Following trade tensions, there was a 5.7 percent decrease. The worldwide pandemic worsened this situation and has dramatic impacts on tourism-related industries (from airlines to hospitality), but also opens new opportunities (digital tourism, health-tracking apps). Japan had to reschedule its summer Olympic Games for 2021; so far, the Winter Olympic Games of 2022 in Beijing are maintained. Knowing how to create infographics is a plus.	2020-06-09 17:11:59	1	ECON	3152

Work with Faces of Margraten project to research and tell the story of the men and women buried in the Netherlands American Cemetery.	Department of State	1	STATE-NLD-7		Research, Writing	The Netherlands was liberated by Allied forces May 5, 1945 after five years of Nazi occupation. Those who sacrificed their lives for liberation are buried in the Netherlands American Cemetery in the Dutch town of Margraten. The cemetery is home to the remains of 8,289 American soldiers, with another 1,722 names listed on the Wall of the Missing. To thank the liberators, the Fields of Honor Foundation started The Faces of Margraten – a project that matches names on tombstones with photographs and stories to help remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. As of May 2020, The Faces of Margraten has found the photos of over 7,500 liberators. Help Faces of Margraten go beyond the names and dates on tombstones and tell their stories. This is an amazing opportunity to make a tangible contribution to ensuring that America’s servicemembers are not forgotten. The intern will use resources such as databases, census records, military records, and material from historical societies to establish an individual’s background. Once the basic information is collected, it will be verified by researchers and put into the foundation’s Fields of Honor Database, available to the public to explore the stories of each liberator. The database also includes personal memorial pages for U.S. soldiers buried in five other U.S. cemeteries in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg. A strong background in research, a passion for history, and creative thinking are highly desirable. Photos of soldiers that you will find will be put on display at the Netherlands American Cemetery in 2021.
