The United States and Germany are two of the world’s largest economies, and yet there remains considerable opportunities for expanded trade. As a virtual intern, you will contribute to the strategic objectives of the U.S. Consulate Hamburg. Upon joining our Political and Economic (P/E) section, you will be responsible for researching information on U.S. trade relations in the consulate’s district, which consists of five Northern German states: Hamburg, Bremen, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Information desired includes but is not limited to: (1) number of U.S. companies in each state, their revenue, employee and sales statistics; (2) U.S. companies in each state that are market leaders for Germany/Europe; (3) companies from each state with a U.S. presence, their revenue, employee and sales statistics; (4) Northern German companies in the United States that are U.S. market leaders; (5) U.S. import, export, and other relevant trade statistics for each state: number of companies with U.S./Northern Germany trade, overall employment and investment etc. The research will culminate in fact sheets outlining U.S. ties to each state and will be published on our web site, on social media, and in print form. We will provide you with guidance on relevant sources, including e.g. local chambers of commerce, AmCham, state ministries, investment agencies, and statistics offices. This is a unique opportunity to directly inform U.S. engagement and policy in Europe’s largest economy, and one of the U.S.’s most important partners. For this exciting project, you will not only work closely with the P/E team in Hamburg but also your work itself will have high visibility.

1. What parts of Chihuahua city are the most dangerous?
2. What parts of Chihuahua have the highest concentration of homicides and why? Has it changed over time?
3. In Ciudad Juarez, what types of commercial establishments see the most homicides?
4. How does the increase in homicides in 2018/2019 compare to the rate and nature of the increase of homicides during 2010?

The Regional Environment, Science, Technology, and Health (ESTH) Hub for the Pacific – based in Suva, Fiji – covers ESTH issues across twenty-one Pacific countries and territories. The Pacific Hub aims to promote regional cooperation, data-sharing, and adoption of sound policies by working with bilateral ESTH officers at embassies and consulates in the region as well as with other U.S. Government (USG) agencies. Externally, the Hub engages in ESTH diplomacy, cooperating extensively with nongovernmental organizations, and regional organizations on environmental activities within their region.
One component of the Hub’s work is managing small grant programs. We are seeking an intern who could produce maps, info-graphics, and/or short success stories to highlight the small grants program and its accomplishments to date. One of the products we envision is a map or infographic that illustrates where our small grants have gone and what ESTH area they have focused on. A detail-oriented, creative intern could turn our grant files into appealing and easy-to-understand visual stories! As the Pacific region garners more attention on the global stage, this storytelling work is important background for future programmatic and policy design.

Public outreach to explain U.S. foreign policy is a critical part of public diplomacy. This position will directly help advance our foreign policy by writing and designing a series of English presentations that explain U.S. Government priorities in Mongolia and the Indo-Pacific region. By creating ready-to-go presentations tailor made for Mongolia, the intern will help us reach more Mongolians to promote our shared values like democracy, innovation, and human rights. The intern will work closely with the embassy’s assistant public affairs officer to identify and prioritize presentation topics, and work with other American officers at the embassy to develop specific content. For example, a possible presentation topic may be U.S. support for Mongolia’s U.N. peacekeepers as a topic. The intern will then work with the public affairs team to design a visually compelling presentation using licensed images, sounds, or video and with the embassy’s defense attaché to develop content that explains Mongolia’s role in peacekeeping missions around the world.

The United States Department of State prioritizes standing up for human rights. For decades, China has tried to meet its demand for organ transplants by coercively harvesting them from criminals and political prisoners. Over the past 10 years, however, China has claimed reform of these practices, though the picture on the ground remains unclear. The U.S. Consulate Guangzhou is seeking interested, capable applicants to use open source data to compile a comprehensive report on both de jure and de facto implementation of organ transplant policies in South China since 2008. Interns will look for as many details as possible on the who, what, when, where, and how of coerced abortions to help American diplomats better understand human rights concerns within the Guangzhou consular district. Minimum professional proficiency in reading simplified Chinese characters is preferred, but not necessary.

We note that a high percentage of university students are not fully prepared to study in English at tertiary level to get the most out of their academic studies. We have some programs to support and improve learning before tertiary level and we believe regardless of English proficiency level, students remain in need of academic skills development for more effective success in tertiary level. We are looking to research their skill set, needs, and perceptions more broadly in order to better bolster the design of programs we offer.

The 42 Diplomatic Reception Rooms, located on the top two floors of the U.S. Department of State, are the site for many of our nation’s diplomatic meetings and events including international summits, treaty negotiations, official U.S. State Luncheons, and important presidential speeches. The rooms house a historic museum-quality collection of more than 5,000 fine and decorative art objects valued at more than $125 million that tell the story of our country’s founding and formative years. The fine and decorative arts collection is comprised of paintings, sculptures, prints and manuscripts, furniture, silver, glass, textiles, export porcelain and earthenware from 1730 - 1860. A significant portion of the collection relates to important moments in our country’s history and represents excellent examples of fine and decorative art from important artists and craftsmen. Some of the pieces in the collection include portraits of Founding Fathers by Gilbert Stuart, landscape portraits by Thomas Moran, porcelain owned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the desk upon which the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. These historic objects and artwork tell the story of our country’s history and cultural heritage, and illustrate the importance of diplomacy and civic engagement.
The collection and the stories it tells are taken beyond the walls of the U.S. Department of State through educational programming. DRR's educational initiatives encourage educators to use historic art and objects from state and national museums and libraries to develop innovative lesson plans centered around civic engagement. Programming is uniquely tailored to support school librarians and teachers of English language arts, art, and social studies in grades 4-12.

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 Middle East, despite the region's centrality 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 the Middle East. 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). Interns would work with the Regional China Officer based in Abu Dhabi and draft reports for use by policy makers throughout the Middle East and North Africa as well as back in Washington. This internship provides an opportunity to work on a priority topic (China) within a priority region (the Middle East) at a critical time for all countries involved.

U.S. Embassy Santiago leads U.S. efforts on the ground to promote deeper economic ties between the United States and Chile. Chile is one of the most dynamic economies of Latin America, regularly cited as a regional model of governance and sound economic policies. Chile has greatly increased its global role and developed strong economic ties with other countries, especially in Asia.
Embassy Santiago seeks a virtual student intern to assist with bilateral diplomatic initiatives and track key developments in Chile’s most important economic sectors. The virtual intern will help to assess the economic impact of developments in Chile and key global trends on the country’s most import sectors: mining, energy, and trade. The virtual student intern will also track the macroeconomic effects of the government’s policy decisions and initiatives championed by the Chilean National Congress such as on tax, labor, and pension reforms. A key aspect of the project will be assessing Chile’s efforts to strengthen international economic ties, especially with East Asian countries such as South Korea, Japan, and China. The intern will utilize all available media, including Spanish language newspapers, Chilean government websites, private sector websites, universities and other sources of relevant information.
Embassy Santiago’s economic team will develop the specific objectives and timelines with the virtual student intern.

English conversation circles are especially popular with Egyptian students. Students come to the American Center (AC) where AC staff form groups based on self-identified language ability (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Participants are striving to practice their English, gain vocabulary, improve their grammar and learn about America. A topic which relates to an American theme or policy issue is identified in advance to stimulate discussion. Circles are facilitated by an American officer or family member. Each circle is composed of 10-12 students aged 20-30. Most are university students with some recent graduates.
Intern will draft new topical ideas of interest to American youth that Egyptians will also find engaging. With guidance from the post, topics for the coming year will be selected based on monthly themes and mission goals. Intern will create targeted vocabulary lists based on the topic, draft worksheets for student review and develop key questions that spur conversation. Other creative solutions such as identifying 2-5 minute videos that lay a baseline for discussion are welcome. Intern will also conduct a virtual conversation circle once a week. Our conversation club meets on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. (9 a.m. EST) but this can be negotiable dependent on intern's availability.
Knowledge and Skills you need:
*Good English language skills, specifically grammar and vocabulary
*Ability to research topics for relevant material whether text or audio/video
*Assess resources for appropriateness and reading level
*Ability to develop worksheets and vocabulary lists
*Ability to promote conversation and develop rapport with Egyptian youth
*Ability to use Skype, Zoom, Google Hangout or other similar platform to conduct virtual conversation sessions.

The National Museum of American Diplomacy will be the first museum in the nation dedicated to telling the story of diplomacy and of the diplomats who have served and sacrificed for their country since the founding of our nation. 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. Our first major exhibit, developed in partnership with Smithsonian Exhibits, will cover sixteen stories, spanning from the alliance with France which contributed to the success of the American revolution, to pivotal moments in history such as rebuilding Europe after World War II, to the far-reaching work of diplomats in the field today. The Diplomacy Center is also working with the Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum to unveil the Eye, an award winning in-museum mobile experience. More info here: https://mashable.com/article/hirshhorn-eye-museum-companion/
Intern(s) will contribute to the opening of this exhibit and continual content updates through video editing projects. Previous projects included editing an interview with a diplomat who survived over a year in captivity during the Iran Hostage Crisis and primary source footage from East Berlin during the Cold War. Some projects will be cross-posted on our website, social media, and used for high stakes fundraising. Other projects will be a part of the exhibits through the Museum of Diplomacy Eye.

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.

Civil society in the Russian Far East has been marginalized by a myriad of laws and restrictions which have effectively nationalized most large cultural events and spaces, meaning that the opportunities for Americans to engage with average Russians are generally limited and state-controlled. The U.S. Consulate Public Affairs Section is regularly looking for new local partners with whom we can organize events for visiting speakers or performance groups, as well as film showings, English conversation clubs, and other programs. The Community Liaison Office is in charge of identifying and organizing events that may be of interest for American Consulate staff to attend. In this way, both sections are interested in identifying local events, venues, and event organizers (individuals, organizations, businesses).
This project will consist of two main activities: 1). Scan local media for events and add them to a calendar, 2). Identify points of contact, social media pages, or other contact information for the organizers of the events, and add them to a database

The first intern will search for events in Vladivostok of potential interest to Consulate American staff, and that are organized by organizations that could partner with the Consulate in the future, monitoring Vl.ru (https://www.vl.ru/afisha/vladivostok/events/all) on a daily basis. The intern will send short summaries to the Consulate including the following information: event title, event description (max ~75 words), date, location, cost (if any), point of contact (if none listed - any contact information or at least the organizing body). The intern must then add the organizer's information to an Excel spreadsheet, updating on a weekly basis.
The second intern will search for major events in 3 regions - Primorskiy Krai (mainly Vladivostok, followed by Artem, Ussuriisk, and Nakhodka), Khabarovsk (mainly Khabarovsk, followed by Komsomolsk-na-Amure, and Sakhalin (mainly Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk). This intern will do the same tasks: monitor the sites on a daily basis, send short summaries to the Consulate including the following information: event title, event description (max ~75 words), date, location, cost (if any), point of contact (if none listed - any contact information or at least the organizing body).

The Regional Environment, Science, Technology, and Health (ESTH) Hub for the Pacific – based in Suva, Fiji – covers ESTH issues across twenty-one Pacific countries and territories. The Pacific Hub aims to promote regional cooperation, data-sharing, and adoption of sound policies by working with bilateral ESTH officers at embassies and consulates in the region as well as with other U.S. Government (USG) agencies. Externally, the Hub engages in ESTH diplomacy, cooperating extensively with nongovernmental organizations, and regional organizations on environmental activities within their region.
ESTH issues play a critical and dynamic role in the Pacific region’s economic and political spheres and are a key area of engagement within our diplomatic relationship. Your principle task would be to conduct desk reviews on key policy and program topics in order to provide important background information and supporting analysis to officers. Example tasks could include reviewing the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted by Pacific countries (under the Paris Agreement) or searching, compiling, and reviewing the projects in region related to marine debris/plastic pollution. The research could also expand into writing as time/interest allow. This internship is perfect for students interested in environmental policy and the Pacific region.

The more practice they get speaking their target language, the more prepared they will be for their language exam, and most importantly, to do their job at post. We are looking for native Icelandic speakers to converse with our Foreign Service Officers in an informal setting, by either phone or video chats. Conversations may start out very basic, on every day topics, and will become more sophisticated as the Diplomats advance in the training. By speaking Icelandic with our Diplomats, you will have a unique opportunity to help them improve their language competence, as well as to discuss Icelandic history, politics and culture with a future representative of the United States to Iceland.

The English Access Microscholarship Program is an after-school, intensive English Language Program for underserved students ages 13-22. In addition to learning English and improving their written and spoken skills, students are learning more about U.S. culture and what ways their own culture is similar. We want educators to go beyond just talking about holidays and have specific materials developed to help learners delve into issues the countries share - environmental, societal, educational, etc. and how we can learn from one another.
These materials will serve as the supplemental resource or background materials which teachers can re-purpose for specific skill development of the learners. The materials need not be turned into specific lesson plans, but certainly if the intern has a background in educational design, we would be interested in seeing ideas. We are looking for research into the issues for reference for further development.

The United States Department of State prioritizes standing up for human rights. Since the institution of the one-child policy in 1979, unknown numbers of women across China have been forced against their will to undergo sterilizations or abortion procedures for pregnancies termed “out of plan.” Over the past 15 years, however, population control policy has shifted dramatically, with variance in implementation from province to province and even city to city. The U.S. Consulate Guangzhou is seeking interested, capable applicants to use open source data to compile a comprehensive report on both de jure and de facto implementation of population control policies in South China since 2008. Interns will look for as many details as possible on the who, what, when, where, and how of coerced abortions to help American diplomats better understand human rights concerns within the Guangzhou consular district. Minimum professional proficiency in reading simplified Chinese characters is preferred, but not necessary.

One of our main tasks is to deliver concise and accurate information to our readers at the Embassy as well as in Washington on the situation on the ground here in Belize as well as Belizean media's reaction to our foreign and domestic policies. The Embassy’s daily news summary is one of our special products--over 200 people receive the digest every day and for many of our readers this is their only source of information on Belizean news. In order to be more effective and impactful, however, the daily news summary needs a significant face lift: we would like to revamp and revitalize it to ensure that we are providing key information in a reader-friendly and timely manner. We want our readers in Washington to receive their news from Belize before they head to key morning meetings and we want them to have a comprehensive and accurate picture of the most significant news developments in Belize. The virtual intern would come up with a new look for the product, explore creative ways to pull information from local media sources more efficiently, and compile and package the information in an easy to digest, yet impactful, manner. The intern would offer PAS a variety of ways to improve our current product and will be in charge of producing the news summary each business day through the completion of the virtual internship. The student would send their draft to PAS, who would, in turn, disseminate the product to our audience. Successful completion of the project would culminate in a fresh, vibrant, and substantive daily news summary product that could be seamlessly handed over to the small staff of PAS Belmopan.

The goal of the U.S. Study Abroad Branch in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is to increase
diversity and participation in study abroad so more students have an opportunity to develop the linguistic and
cultural skills needed to protect U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. We do this by managing
our own scholarship programs, building capacity for study abroad at U.S. and foreign institutions, aggregating
resources from U.S. federal agencies and foreign governments online, and demonstrating the value of studying
abroad. To do this work, we need dynamic, engaging content showing the impact of our programs and the latest
trends in study abroad to use on our website, social media, and fact sheets.
You will help tell the stories of the Critical Language Scholarship, the Gilman Scholarship Program, and our
higher education partners by creating and sharing infographics that highlight our work through quantitative data
and dynamic visuals showcasing our program participants, alumni, and their activities. Design projects could
include stand alone informational one pagers, graphics for use in internal and external reports, and social media
and website content. We will often have specific graphics that we will ask you to design, but we also encourage
you to analyze study abroad trends and identify stories to highlight.
We are looking for someone with the analytic, design, and creative skills needed to transform data into
compelling visuals and digital stories.

ISLAMABAD
Pakistan
Background on the Status of English Language Learning and Teaching in Pakistan and Status of RELO Virtual Professional Development Programs
English serves as the language of education from primary to tertiary levels in Pakistan. However, the Pakistani education system is still struggling in its relationship with English. The reasons range from unavailability of qualified English teachers, outdated pedagogical practices, sociocultural dynamics, and institutional weaknesses. The Pakistani English language teaching community has limited access to quality professional development opportunities to develop necessary English teaching skills required in a 21st century classroom.
In order to equip a large number of English language teachers (ELTs) with necessary skills for state-of-art English language education through continuous professional development, the Regional English Language Office (RELO) Pakistan offers wide range of face-to-face and virtual professional development opportunities. Given to the relatively challenging working environment, limited in-person outreach and high costs of in-person trainings, the RELO strives to provide professional development opportunities to the maximum number of ELTs through its virtual programs.
Since 2018, more than 3000 Pakistani ELTs have successfully participated in RELO offered virtual professional development programs, including ECA Funded and Post-Funded programs such as the E-Teacher Program and the American English Live Series. The popularity of RELO courses among the Pakistani ELT community is demonstrated through the 1) significant participation in our non-competitive programs like MOOCs and AE Live Series courses and 2) the hundreds of applications for our competitive programs like ECA Global Online courses and Post-funded Online courses. In order to support and engage Pakistani ELTs and expand Mission Pakistan’s virtual English language teaching professional development programs, RELO Pakistan maintains a strong social media presence through the RELO Pakistan Facebook page and numerous closed Facebook groups.

Political Analysis
Mali is a country beset by conflict. Violent extremist groups operate throughout large swaths of the country’s Center and North following consolidation of three major terrorist organizations in March 2017. In central Mali terrorist groups have exploited age-old ethnic rivalries between pastoralists and agricultural communities. Intercommunal violence incidents such as targeted killings and the burning of entire villages occur with increasing regularity. Armed militias dominate much of northern Mali.
U.S. Embassy Bamako seeks an intern to conduct online to identify, map, and catalogue human rights abuses committed by terrorist groups, militias, Malian government forces, and other actors in Mali. This reporting will be used to inform four congressionally-mandated reports: Human Rights, International Religious Freedom, Trafficking in Persons, and Child Labor reports.

Countering the predatory practices of China in Africa, which can include bribes, opaque agreements, and the strategic use of debt is one of the top priorities for U.S. engagement with Africa. U.S. Embassy Bamako seeks an intern to conduct periodic online research and to provide summaries of investment activities to the Embassy Mali economic and commercial team. Research would primarily involve monitoring local press reports; consulting third party sources (such as AidData, the Economist Intelligence Unit, China Global Investment Tracker, etc.) for data and reports on Chinese investment; locating Chinese policy documents describing China’s economic priorities in Africa; and consulting any other sources that provide insights into Chinese economic statecraft in Mali and/or the greater Sahel or West Africa region. The project may also involve research into significant investments in Mali by other foreign actors.

Collaborate with trade show registrations for the International Buyer’s Program. Practice your bilingual skills and computer skills in customer-oriented specific projects.
Partner Post Quito is part of the Economic and Commercial Section of the U.S. Embassy in Quito. We perform commercial work just like any other foreign commercial office in the world. Our office is very small (one American officer and two local staff) and we could use some extra help for commercial activities.
The main project for our “Commercial Aide” will feature support in registering delegates to different trade shows in the U.S. Partner Post Quito has a yearly calendar and we continuously register participants from Ecuador to trade shows. This involves creating and updating Excel sheets with attendee information, submitting this data into the trade show’s website and getting a confirmation number. Good recordkeeping skills are a plus to compile the weekly report of registered delegates. On a yearly basis, we register around 200 attendees.
Connected with trade show’s outreach, the “Commercial Aide” also drafts pre-departure briefings for Ecuadorian attendees who will travel to shows. This one-pager includes relevant information to the show and the city in which it will take place. On occasions, he/she also creates PowerPoint presentation so Quito’s commercial staff can edit and present this information to different audiences when performing outreach.
Secondary tasks for our “Commercial Aide” might include updating or creating customer databases, performing research on Ecuadorian companies on the internet. Other duties might involve occasional translations of commercial material or of the business portion of our webpage. Good drafting and summarizing skills are important.
Our “Commercial Aide” will have flexibility to work independently when most convenient to their academic schedule. These weekly tasks should take approximately 5-10 hours. We encourage prompt email communication with questions, clarifications, and your own feedback or ideas!
The above listed elements are real hands-on tasks of what commercial work entails. The “Commercial Aide” will take part of our daily work and duties and will get to witness the dynamics of commercial relations between Ecuador and the U.S.

The Intern will develop a series of 10 - 20 illustrated social media posts using the U.S. Embassy in Tirana, Albania's "Ask Anna" series as a model, focusing on issues related to proper use of a non-immigrant visa, and discouraging illegal overstays. Each social media post will include representations of Mauritanians (e.g., in day-to-day life, seeking a visa at the embassy, arriving at the U.S. port of entry, and trying (unsuccessfully) to illegally survive in the U.S. an an illegal immigrant). Posts should include Mauritanian proverbs, when appropriate, and scenes that are typically Mauritanian (e.g., discussions while drinking tea), people in typical Mauritanian dress (both Moorish and Afro-Mauritanian).
Reference documents the Intern should consult prior to taking on this assignment include:
- "Ask Anna" series: Available on the U.S. Embassy -Tirana Facebook page using "#pyetanen"
-U.S. Embassy to Mauritania's visa information page at: https://mr.usembassy.gov/visas/ and

- Mauritanian proverbs: Available using a Google search or at your local library
- Mauritanian culture, clothing and environment: Available through basic research on Google, and the U.S. embassy to Mauritania's Facebook page
- A quick overview of immigration overstay information: 1) The Presidential Memorandum on Combating High Nonimmigrant Overstay Rates (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-memorandum-combating-high-nonimmigrant-overstay-rates/); and 2) the Department of Homeland Security’s Fiscal Year 2018 Entry/Exit Overstay Report (https://www.dhs.gov/publication/entryexit-overstay-report)

The Economic Section of Mission China seeks a detailed-oriented, curious person with an interest in foreign affairs to research data on tourism from Chinese tourists to the United States and their weight in the economy. The intern would be responsible for researching data and scan the news for emerging trends. A report on findings shall be sent every week, at the end of the week. The intern should also monitor trends in domestic tourism in China.
Periodically, the intern would be called up to compile media reaction to a specific event, activity, or policy. The intern would also have the opportunity to create informal surveys, talking to travel agencies or Chinese students. The intern would analyze trends they are seeing and summarize their findings monthly.
The intern should be also monitoring the development of Chinese actors on the U.S. market (example: Trip.com).
BEIJING
China
The tourism sector contributes $1.6 trillion to the U.S. GDP, or 7.8 percent, and supports 15.7 million jobs. It is the largest category of U.S. services exported to China. Chinese tourists in the U.S. represent only three percent of international visitors but 11 percent of tourism spending. Following the trade tensions, the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office reported a 5.7 percent decrease in 2018, resulting in a drop of number of Chinese visitors to the United States for the first time in 15 years to 2.9 million visitors. Only eight percent of Chinese nationals have a passport, so the potential for growth is important. Knowing how to create info-graphics is a plus, but not necessary.

The State Department Office of Aviation Negotiations seeks a student to study and graph civil aviation activity (passenger and cargo) before a country enters into an Open Skies partnership with the United States and after the agreement. We currently have 126 Open Skies partnerships. However many of the “holdouts” want to know “what’s in it for us?” I am looking for graphic evidence that Open Skies agreements benefit our partners and a one or two page document we could pass illustrating the benefits of liberalized aviation markets.
This project would entail working with Departments of Transportation and Commerce data to determine the impact of an Open Skies agreement. We would want them to analyze it and help create a marketing piece for prospective Open Skies partner countries.
If done well, this project could directly impact countries' interest in pursuing liberalized aviation market access with the United States, promoting U.S. economic interest and supporting U.S. jobs.

The right candidate would have an academic background in economics or business with data analysis aptitude and the ability to develop an informative and visually interesting marketing piece.

CSO’s Instability Monitoring and Analysis Platform creates products depicting insights and information on conflict trends and political instability, some of which are published online and promoted through social media. These products are often shared tens of thousands of times, but it is unclear how they affect the narrative surrounding the issue, and whether they reach target audiences and decisionmakers.
To track the effect of these products, CSO is seeking a creative and self-motivated social media researcher to collect and evaluate quantitative and qualitative responses on Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms. The researcher will work with CSO to determine the most critical questions to be addressed, such as the product’s reach, tone and depth of commentary, as well as comparison to similar products.

The National Museum of American Diplomacy will be the first museum in the nation dedicated to telling the story of diplomacy and of the diplomats who have served and sacrificed for their country since the founding of our nation. 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. Our first major exhibit, developed in partnership with Smithsonian Exhibits, will cover sixteen stories, spanning from the alliance with France which contributed to the success of the American revolution, to pivotal moments in history such as the Iran hostage crisis, to the far-reaching work of diplomats in the field today.
Intern(s) will create designs for the opening of this exhibit for visitors, donors, and internal stakeholders, as well as for the museum’s other programs. Interns may also produce material for guest exhibits displayed in the pavilion prior to installation of the Smithsonian exhibit. Interns will also develop and design digital communication, including content for email, website, and social media. Previous interns in this position have created donor material praised and distributed by Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State.

The State of Hawaii, our Pacific territories, and our unique relationships with the Freely Associated States (FAS) make the United States an integral part of the Pacific. The United States has a long history of assisting and partnering with the Pacific Islands to address local and global challenges. From disaster assistance to poverty reduction, education to national defense, and more, the United States contributes resources and expertise to developing nations across the Pacific Islands region.
The Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (EAP) Office of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands (ANP) seeks a student intern to lead on collecting and analyzing data from the interagency about their programs and assistance in the Pacific Islands to produce an annual report on USG Assistance to the Pacific. The report is currently an Excel spreadsheet and accompanying Word document narrative. EAP/ANP seeks an intern with data analysis, graphic design, and public diplomacy skills who excels with detail oriented projects to collect and analyze data and design new ways of visually presenting the information for both internal USG and external consumption.

The project is linked directly to the way we administratively process our use of Motor Pool vehicles.
To improve the present system, I see a three-layer approach:
• First layer, a trial to convert how we process the use of the vehicles from a manual (OF 108 Form) effort to a digital one.
• Second layer, to develop a way for the data that will be generated in a digital form (from the first layer) to populate automatically into ILMS/FMIS, the application that receives the data.
• Third layer, to use a GPS to facilitate the management of the vehicle (allowing Motor Pool Management to track their vehicles) as well as to feed back that data intelligibly, so the data can complement the first layer digital process.
The potential carrier infrastructure for the data generated by this system already exists. It belongs to Diplomatic Security and supports all of the data collected by the “DriveCam” installed in all of our government vehicles.
This project can be also easily expanded to collect the vehicles’ maintenance data that is more and more available these days. The result could sensibly improve the way we manage our fleet

We are looking for native Swedish speakers to converse with our Foreign Service Officers in an informal setting, by either phone or video chats. Conversations may start out very basic, on every day topics, and will become more sophisticated as the Diplomats advance in the training.

Duck & Cover - Design of a bar (U.S. Embassy, Kabul) Design a sports-themed bar for the Kabul Embassy Employee Association (KEEA) on the U.S. Embassy compound in Kabul, Afghanistan.

STATE-AFG-LS
Design thinking
KEEA has been assigned an empty space in the basement of a newly built apartment complex on the grounds of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. The apartment complex houses hundreds of U.S. government workers. We desire to customize the available space into the only bar area for the entire U.S. Embassy compound. The bar itself will operate for limited hours, while the rest of the bar area will remain open 24 hours to support billiards, darts, dancing, and similar recreation.
We are open to creative ideas and décor, but in general we want an ‘Americana’-themed Sports Bar, perhaps with some local Afghan accents.
An architectural plan of the existing space, with dimensions, and pictures of the space, will be made available to the designer.
We require the following items to be reflected in any eventual design:
-- Bar - with a nice, inviting bar top (with maybe some local accents, but easy to maintain) and a pull down, lockable enclosure. The bar is to be wet, and needs to have all the fixtures and accoutrements; i.e., dishwasher, sinks, prep area, storage for glass ware and tools, etc.
o Due to limited availability of water drains, KEEA will designate possible areas on the layout where the bar can be placed
o Lockable storage space for two days’ operations of alcohol service in the bar area
-- Mood lighting (at present we have bright, overhead office lighting)
-- Speakers and stereo system - we have the system but need it placed strategically around the room to create both loud and quiet areas. Also, any sound proofing elements that might be required, since this is part of a larger living/working space
-- DJ booth - the booth can be raised or ground level, but should overlook the dance floor
-- Dance floor (multifunctional space) – Must accommodate karaoke and dance parties, in addition to being available for open-seating-type events
o Additional lighting for the dance floor area
-- Quiz/bingo night area, with seating – adjacent to the DJ booth, so quizzes and bingo events can be conducted from the DJ booth
-- Additional seating – high tables, booths, and regular tables, including some lounge-type seating
-- Space for indoor sports equipment, including:
o two billiard tables (not snooker)
o a distinct area for dart games (four permanent boards on the wall, with space for expansion)
o one table tennis table (optional, space permitting)
-- Additional storage and shelving throughout the space to be used for table-top or board games, etc.
-- Design elements for the walls and columns, in keeping with the overall theme of the bar

What is TalentMAP?
TalentMAP is an enhanced online bidding tool designed to replace the Department’s existing Foreign Service (FS) Bidding (FSBid) application. TalentMAP will serve as a unified source of information regarding available FS positions and post data for FS employees. The "MAP" in TalentMAP stands for Manage, Align, and Project.
TalentMAP is being deployed in a phased implementation. During phase one, all FS employees have the ability to search for projected and available job vacancies, save searches and favorites, compare positions, and export search results. In this phase, FS employees will need to return to FSBid to submit their bid(s) to positions they search and find in TalentMAP.
In future phases, FS employees will be able to not only search for available vacancies, but to also search for projected vacancies and submit bids for positions using TalentMAP.
Note: The current release of TalentMAP is a pilot and its use is optional for end users. This release does not include the ability to submit bids. After you have found positions that interest you, record the Position Number and use the current FSBid application to look up the positions and submit your bids. The bidding process will remain the same with FSBid. Bidding functionality will be included in a future TalentMAP release. However, using TalentMAP will provide employees an opportunity to become familiar with the available features and provide feedback to help shape future functionality.
Benefits of TalentMAP
· Provides a user-friendly interface that reduces the time for FS employees to search for, and find positions that align with their skills.
· Provides FS employees with the option to save multiple projected and available job vacancies to their list of favorites, and compare options to determine which positions to submit their bids.
· Provides an enhanced search functionality that allows robust keyword searches and provides discrete filters for position data.
Who Should Use TalentMAP
· All DOS Foreign Service employees
· Career Development Officers (CDOs)

U.S. Embassy employees in this Francophone country want to improve their English. Many struggle to find resources and opportunities to learn. In particular, the Local Guard Force often has limited English. We need interns who will work with Embassy English teachers, senior Guard Force leadership and the Regional Security Office to develop a practical English program tailored to the needs of the guards. This will improve security by improving communication. The lessons will focus on the language needed to communicate security and emergency issues. The practical exercises will focus on communicating during drills. This will serve as a prelude to real life problem solving while using English.

We are looking for native Norwegian speakers to converse with our Foreign Service Officers in an informal setting, by either phone or video chats. Conversations may start out very basic, on every day topics, and will become more sophisticated as the Diplomats advance in the training.

The project will involve extensive research into all available files at the U.S. National Archives regarding the 97th General Hospital of the U.S. Army which occupied these buildings from 1945-1997. In addition, the project includes research into any online files available in Germany regarding the period 1938-1945 when the buildings served as a German Luftwaffe hospital. Reaching out to previous individuals who worked at the hospital will also add eyewitness accounts to document the history. The project will clarify the past use of the buildings and the old art previously and currently still displayed in some of the halls. To date, little to no history has been found regarding the period 1938-1945 and no documentation has been located regarding any of the known pieces of art. As a result, there is the possibility of locating previously unknown files and greatly adding to the current knowledge of the history of the buildings and art pieces.

This project will be ideal for someone having a strong interest in history and German-American cultural ties. We have routinely received requests from former veterans to tour the buildings where they once served in the 97th General Hospital and we try to accomodate them as much as possible. There is still a lot of history to uncover and we hope this project will add to our knowledge of the buildings and fill in the many gaps in our current historical display and museum.

Surveys could also evaluate the speaker’s performance, could solicit further event ideas/suggestions from participants, etc. The eIntern will also analyze collected data (using both quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods) and store them in a shared excel sheet. The eIntern will then take the gist from the analyzed data and turn it into thematic and easy-to-read infographics.
The eIntern will use Google Drive to constantly share his/her work with the American Center team. Canva.com would be the preferred infographic design tool.
The eIntern will also do monthly live campus tours to show Tunisian students different parts of a U.S. campus. These live tours will be conducted in English and will be vlog-style and interactive. Each month, the eIntern will focus on a new part of a U.S. campus or a new theme. Ideas may include the food court, the gym, the library, dorms, the international students office, etc. Depending on the focus of the tour, the eIntern is encouraged to coordinate with others in advance to enrich the live tours. For example, they can involve the librarian in the library tour or an admissions officer to help with the admissions office tour. If the theme is food, the eIntern can coordinate with the manager of the food court, then do testimonials from students to give their input on food and nutrition on campus.

The Diplomatic Reception Rooms is preparing to launch, a national fundraising campaign to provide funding for their national education program. The educational program connects teachers and school librarians with the historic art and objects from the Diplomatic Reception Rooms’ collection. Educators use these primary resources as teaching tools, helping history come to life in their classrooms. Currently in the quiet phase, this campaign will identify, cultivate, solicit and close major gifts from individuals, foundations, corporations, and non-profits. This internship provides hands-on training and experience in major gift fundraising, campaign research, and strategy to help educate and encourage the development of future professionals in the field.
Candidates must have a demonstrated interest in major gift fundraising, campaign research, and/or campaign strategy. This internship is open to graduate students pursuing a Master of Arts degree in American studies, art history, arts management, communication, creative writing, English, exhibition design, fundraising, history, history of decorative arts, marketing, museum education, museum studies, political management, political science, project management, public communication, public relations, and strategic communication.
The intern supports the work of the Campaign Director for the Diplomatic Reception Rooms as a fundraising, research, and strategy assistant. The intern selected will have the opportunity to work directly with the Campaign Director and will engage in conducting donor research, campaign budgeting and planning, developing donor ratings, creating campaign pyramids, and assisting in developing campaign strategy including marketing, messaging, and branding. Based on ability and interest, the intern will have the opportunity to draft lead letters, donor proposals, and campaign case statements. Candidates must demonstrate excellent research and writing skills, and have the ability to work independently and as part of a team. The opportunity to work in a dynamic environment used to conduct our nation’s diplomacy is part of the internship experience.
United States
The 42 Diplomatic Reception Rooms, located on the top two floors of the U.S. Department of State, are the site for many of our nation’s diplomatic meetings and events including international summits, treaty negotiations, official U.S. State Luncheons, and important presidential speeches. The rooms house a historic museum-quality collection of more than 5,000 fine and decorative art objects valued at more than $125 million that tell the story of our country’s founding and formative years. The fine and decorative arts collection is comprised of paintings, sculptures, prints and manuscripts, furniture, silver, glass, textiles, export porcelain and earthenware from 1730 - 1860. A significant portion of the collection relates to important moments in our country’s history and represents excellent examples of fine and decorative art from important artists and craftsmen. Some of the pieces in the collection include portraits of Founding Fathers by Gilbert Stuart, landscape portraits by Thomas Moran, porcelain owned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the desk upon which the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. These historic objects and artwork tell the story of our country’s history and cultural heritage, and illustrate the importance of diplomacy and civic engagement.
The collection and the stories it tells are taken beyond the walls of the U.S. Department of State through educational programming. DRR's educational initiatives encourage educators to use historic art and objects from state and national museums and libraries to develop innovative lesson plans centered around civic engagement. Programming is uniquely tailored to support school librarians and teachers of English language arts, art, and social studies in grades 4-12.

The small Public Affairs team in Nicosia is an ever-busy section working to engage local audiences, especially Cypriot youth through social media and various programs. Our small staff works to develop fun and innovative projects and create opportunities to initiate constructive discussion on U.S. culture, values, policies, and education.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who are in touch with social media trends and developments to engage Cypriot youth on our channels, and we believe that American students would be uniquely positioned to assist our small staff in enhancing our content. If you are selected, you will be able to exercise your creative skills on our social media channels. You will also be researching and drafting presentations used by Embassy personnel at local educational institutions in close coordination with our team. Additionally you will support alumni engagement.
Cyprus
Over the last few years, our Facebook page USEmbassyCyprus has become the mission’s main online communication channel to Cypriot audiences from all walks of life, but especially youth. Despite the small Public Affairs team, we work to prepare interesting daily content for our audiences. If you are selected, you will get to experience this process taking place in an intriguing political environment such as Cyprus. In support of this endeavor, we design both short- and long-term campaigns. You will also get to work closely with our Public Diplomacy team to design these campaigns and explore new platforms and outreach tools.
We will communicate with interns through a regularly scheduled online VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol, e.g. Skype) calls, emails, and online document collaboration through cloud-based applications (note: Nicosia is seven hours ahead of Eastern Standard time). Occasionally, virtual interns may participate in the public diplomacy team meetings through teleconferencing to gain a more holistic understanding of how specific projects contribute to the larger goals of the Public Affairs Section.
Successful candidates would need to follow current social media trends, mainly Facebook and Twitter, and be able to provide basic analysis of metrics. They will also get to work on alternative platforms to reach existing and new audiences. Awareness of current State Department priorities and campaigns is preferred but not required. When needed, interns will work on special projects relating to American history, music, education, art, etc. to help Embassy Cyprus expose local audiences in lesser-known areas of U.S. culture which are not widely known. At times, Nicosia’s Virtual Interns may also be asked to help with audio and video transcription, assist with budgeting, and proposal drafting. Knowledge of either Greek or Turkish would be welcome and helpful, but not required.
Another post social media priority is the promotion of U.S. Education among secondary and tertiary students in Cyprus. Interns may be asked to create content by combining EducationUSA and other U.S. Government materials with content based on their own experiences or by coordinating with Cypriot students currently studying in the U.S.
Every year, the Embassy organizes a series of speaker programs with presentations and discussions by Embassy officers at local schools and institutions. Virtual Interns may work with speakers to prepare presentations and research materials in the form of historical background, videos, and photos for these presentations.
We strongly believe that through this internship, the selected candidate will gain experience of State Department public diplomacy work with foreign audiences and better understand the U.S. Foreign Service priorities and organizational culture.

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania is seeking an Intern with an interest in public diplomacy, sharing English Language skills and/or English as a Second Language.
The intern will have three primary tasks: 1) facilitate and/or prepare materials for periodic sessions of the twice weekly English Conversation Club; 2) produce at least two issues of a quarterly electronic newsletter, in English, whose readership will be university-aged youth interested in learning about English language and American culture; and 3) develop 2-5 social media (Facebook) campaigns on issues related to U.S. culture and diversity (e.g., a day in the life of a U.S. university student; what it's like to be a university exchange student; job hunting skills; Islam in America; etc.).

Periodic English Conversation Club facilitation
Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, a group of 20 – 40 Mauritanians (university students, recent high school or university graduates and young professionals/unemployed young people) interested in practicing their English language conversation skills meet at the U.S. Embassy to listen to a presentation and then ask questions and discuss about what they have learned and how it applies to them. This group is called the English Conversation Club. The embassy coordinator for this activity, the American Spaces Manager, has divided the participants into three groups based on their English language level -- low, intermediate and advanced.
Facilitation is done by the American Spaces Manager and an English Language Fellow, but we are looking for additional facilitation support for the group. That facilitation could be done by simply preparing materials for local facilitators to discuss with the group, or (preferred) via a video conference set-up in which the virtual intern is actually facilitating the discussion via a live video feed. This diversity will help keep the group interesting for participants.
Newsletter for English Conversation Club participants
PAS staff has produced quarterly newsletters in the past for its English Conversation Club participants, and we have a user friendly newsletter model in MailChimp, however finding time to assemble it on a regular basis has been challenging. Content will include: student poems, English language (ESL) tips, short stories, riddles, American culture elements, English language games, photos, U.S. university information and calendars about local English language events. We would like the intern's assistance in assembling all the materials, which English Conversation Club participants submit via WhatsApp and email; as well as the intern's own contributions, and assembling it all into a newsletter.
Facebook campaigns
The U.S. Embassy to Mauritania attempts to post 1 -2 times per day. Our social media campaigns to date 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 a day in the life of a U.S. university student, for example, would be popular and would help Mauritanian Fulbright/UGRAD applicants better understand the realities of university life. Similarly, the intern could visit a mosque and film some of the mosque's community-outreach projects. Other themes we are seeking to incorporate and promote in our Facebook feed include: 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.
Facebook campaigns could be video format, illustrations, or plain text with a copyright-free photo.
Our English Conversation Club uses WhatsApp heavily to communicate. We would also like the intern to use WhatsApp to at least track those conversations.
We are seeking to inject energy and more modern techniques into our English Conversation and social media activities despite the technical limitations in Mauritania.

Research
Virtual Student Foreign Service volunteers will co-coordinate the U.S. – Japan POW Friendship Program. Since 2010, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sponsored groups of former Prisoners of War (POWs) and their caretakers to travel to Japan as a gesture of healing and reconciliation. Under the program, the group meets with Japanese government officials and citizen groups and visits WWII memorial sites. Many of the POWs have the opportunity to visit their former prison and labor camps.
NOTE: THIS PROJECT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE USAJOBS DROPDOWN. To apply to this project it must be in addition to the three projects you select on USAJOBS.gov. This project requires a separate email (containing a statement of interest and a resume) be sent directly to Heather Eaton (eatonhg@state.gov) by July 31.
United States
Co-Coordinators of the U.S. – Japan POW Friendship Program would be expected to:
1) Collaborate with NGOs, veteran organizations, and others as needed to identify eligible candidates and extend invitations to potential program participants.
2) Explain all aspects of the POW Reconciliation Program, including:
a. History of the U.S. – Japan POW Reconciliation Program
b. Notable government stakeholders involved in the program
c. Success of past POW Reconciliation Programs
d. Potential benefits involved in participating in the program
3) Guide program participants through the application process, including:
a. Interviewing participants about their experiences as POWs in Japan, including preparing bios for each participant.
b. Collecting logistical information from POW participants such as wheelchair and health needs, addresses, departure cities, and helping them to identify an appropriate person to travel with them as caregiver.
c. Communicating program logistics to participants.
4) Respond to queries from POWs regarding travel concerns, length of the program, program activities, the process of applying for passports, logistics, etc.
5) Act as a liaison between the program participants, the Department of State’s Office of Japanese Affairs, and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ensure that all parties involved are kept up to date with the latest information regarding:
a. Program developments
b. Concerns regarding the candidate’s health, interests, free-time, travel ability etc.
6) Partner with the other eintern(s), the State Department coordinator, and the NGO coordinator complete the work efficiently.
7) Commit to support the U.S. – Japan POW Friendship Program from mid-May through the end of November, 2019.
a. Co-coordinators will commit to approximately 10 hours of work per week from mid-May through the end of November.
b. Work hours can fluctuate depending on progress made as the trip approaches. Trips are generally held in October, but this varies year to year. There will be some wrap-up work to do after participants return, but the busiest period is June through October.
The Office of Japanese Affairs will be available at all times to provide technical and logistical support to the VSFS co-coordinators. Questions regarding logistical or technical support can be directed to the Japan Desk point-of-contact for the POW Friendship Program.
Given that these elderly candidates (all the former POWs are now in their 90s) will require assistance, POW co-coordinators are expected to be courteous and patient.
Candidates must be available from May 2019 through November 2019; candidates who graduate prior to that date will not be considered. Program participants may be introduced to a number of individuals with equity in the project, including officials from the Embassy of Japan, the American Defenders of Bataan & Corregidor Memorial Society, and the U.S. Department of State.

The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China receive millions of applications from Chinese citizens interested in traveling to the United States each year. Most visa applicants use clear, legal paths to obtain their visas. Others rely on visa fixers or submit fraudulent information. Chinese citizens have a vibrant online presence where netizens discuss a wide range of experiences, including their visa application process, options for obtaining or maintaining U.S. visa status, and how to disguise their true purpose of travel. The U.S. Consulate Guangzhou is seeking interested, capable applicants with Chinese reading ability to review public blogs and postings to see what our applicants are saying about the methods they have used or are promoting for others interested in traveling to the United States. Research will be done online in any publicly available media. Minimum professional proficiency in reading simplified Chinese characters is necessary, but translation aids are permissible.

Those accepted onto the project will be given some background information to help them get started on their research, but must be self-motivated and self-directed in their work. The final work product is a report and supporting annex describing your findings. Among the materials provided will be instructions on how to format a formal, front channel cable in the Department of State—an essential skill for many U.S. diplomats. Although the cable will not be disseminated through formal channels, this is a terrific opportunity to gain experience in the formal writing style used within the Department.

The Greening Diplomacy Initiative works with U.S. embassies and posts abroad, as well as foreign diplomatic institutions here in the U.S. and elsewhere, to leverage diplomacy as a way to make the world a more environmentally sustainable place. This covers a wide array of programs, projects, and technologies. As one example, we leverage diplomatic institutions’ energy needs as a way to add more renewable energy to the grid around the world. Another example is that we work to showcase our on-site wetlands at some embassies to help host countries learn about different water treatment and storage technologies that might help their infrastructure. This is a dynamic office and you will be working on high-impact, global projects that directly contribute to improving environmental sustainability worldwide and increasing public diplomacy opportunities for the United States’ government. Virtual interns will work on a variety of assigned and self-driven projects, allowing them to choose their own adventure and develop the skills they would like to.

The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor leads the State Department’s comprehensive strategy to promote and protect the rights of people with disabilities internationally. As part of our foreign policy the United States works to remove barriers to equal access and opportunities and create a world in which disabled people enjoy dignity and full inclusion. Discrimination against people with disabilities is not simply unjust – it hinders economic development, limits democracy, and erodes societies.
This project seeks to identify openings in the legal or policy framework to advocate for laws that prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the public. Selected interns will compare national disability rights laws to relevant U.S. laws and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to catalogue gaps and best practices for upholding the human rights, and fundamental freedoms of persons with disabilities. Each intern will be provided a region of the world to research each country’s national laws to determine whether laws adhere to the legal standards identified. Interns will also determine whether any regional or multilateral organizations have done similar legal research to avoid duplication.

Interns should indicate region(s) of focus based on interests, experience, and/or language skills: Europe, Western Hemisphere, East Asia and the Pacific, South and Central Asia, Africa and the Near East and North Africa.

The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) is the chief learning organization for the Department of State and the U.S. government foreign affairs community. Our mission is to deliver world-class diplomatic training for American diplomats and foreign affairs professionals. FSI’s training provides the future generations of diplomatic leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to carry out American foreign policy. As an intern, you will work closely with FSI’s Office of Public Affairs to help communicate and broadcast the crucial value of this training, and tell FSI’s story to the rest of the State Department and key external audiences. If you’re interested in the intersection between education and diplomacy, this is a perfect internship for you! You’ll help with FSI’s digital engagement as well as provide programmatic support for an upcoming Department-wide initiative about modern and historic heroes of U.S. diplomacy.
See “Additional Information” for project specifics!

This project is a request to design a MS Access 2010 database to collect and track talking points and public speaking events for the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations. This will include creating tables for people, events, organizations, and talking points. Forms will need to be designed for data entry. Queries need to be created to pull common information requests. And finally reports need to be developed for presenting information in a comprehensive and clear way to senior State Department officials. In short we are looking for a way to manage copious amount of information in a manner that is easy to update and maintain! We have identified MS Access 2010 as the system we want to use and are ready to move to the design phase.

The Virtual Intern develops English language and 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 about an hour with the approximately 14-20 students in each class. The goal is for the students, many of whom live in underserved communities of Russia, to have a chance to practice English with a U.S. citizen. Interns will work with the teacher at their site to determine appropriate topics for discussion, based on the material the students are working with at the time of the Skype meetings. Topics could include popular culture or education. The difference in time zones may require early morning or late night Skype sessions.

The Access program (https://exchanges.state.gov/non-us/program/english-access-microscholarship-program) provides young disadvantaged but motivated students with English language and leadership skills throughout the 2-year program. The Advance program is for underemployed 19-30 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 practice 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

Data analysis
Conduct a broad based analysis of statistics provided by the Government of Niger (GoN) including: budgetary planning and implementation, health sector changes, population growth, agricultural production, census information, and other data points pertinent to understanding Niger’s socio, political, and economic development. Compare the data provided by the GoN to the same information provided by the international community.
There are some unexplained differences in the statistics provided with some difficulty in identifying which data is more reliable. In some instances, data provided by the international community is in line with GoN data – such as annual growth rate. In others, such as health care during the malaria season or during cholera outbreaks, a discrepancy in data has a direct impact on planning by the donor community.
Post requires a determination on when we can rely on GoN provided data. In addition, Post requires a breakdown of reliable historical data from the GoN and international community in a usable format so that we can track trends. Areas of particular focus include GoN budgetary planning and execution, population growth, terrorist attacks (are there seasonal spikes), and trade.
Post will share the work already completed. Data sources include, but are not limited to: IMF, World Bank, Department of Treasury, various UN agencies, MSF, internal sources (SIMA), and others, as they are available. The majority of the GoN’s statistics are available online through Niger’s National Institute for Statistics (INS) website: http://www.stat-niger.org/statistique/index.php.

America House Kyiv is looking for 3 interns to work on an exciting online media project – the America House blog. The blog was launched in November 2017 and has around 2000 views per month.
This blog is a mixture of language learning articles/exercises/quizzes/vocabulary lists, professional growth tips, and entertainment content.
Articles are divided into 6 categories: Culture, Growth, Tech, English, Travel, and Education. You can check it out here: http://www.americahousekyiv.org/blog/
Topics that have been covered in the past include Language Learning Tips, Entrepreneurship, Technology, Art, Culture, Journalism, History, Politics, Travel, Education, Innovation, Skill-building, and more!
The initiative is inspired by digital platforms such as Mashable, Entreprenuer, Lifehack, Bored Panda, and Voice of America that create short and engaging articles accessible for non-native speakers of English.
Some of the content of our blog will be based on lectures, workshops, and other events held at America House Kyiv. Videos, photos, recordings, and summaries of these events will be provided to the intern to use as a basis for blog entries.
The intern will cooperate closely with the America House communications team in Kyiv via e-mail and conference calls.
Each intern will commit to creating 1 to 2 blog entries per week.
This is a brilliant opportunity for students interested in the topics mentioned above to test and apply their skills in producing engaging materials, sharing the very best of U.S. culture, and fostering understanding between the United States and Ukraine. It is also a fantastic opportunity to gain hands on experience with U.S. public diplomacy and outreach efforts in Ukraine.
NOTE: THIS PROJECT DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE USAJOBS DROPDOWN. To apply to this project it must be in addition to the three projects you select on USAJOBS.gov. This project requires a separate email (containing a statement of interest and a resume) be sent directly to AmyLyn Reynolds (Reynoldsa2@state.gov) by July 31.

Civil society in the Russian Far East has been marginalized by a myriad of laws and restrictions which have effectively nationalized most large cultural events and spaces, meaning that the opportunities for Americans to engage with average Russians are generally limited and state-controlled. The U.S. Consulate Public Affairs Section is regularly looking for new local partners with whom we can organize events for visiting speakers or performance groups, as well as film showings, English conversation clubs, and other programs. The Community Liaison Office is in charge of identifying and organizing events that may be of interest for American Consulate staff to attend. In this way, both sections are interested in identifying local events, venues, and event organizers (individuals, organizations, businesses).
This project will consist of two main activities: 1). Scan local media for events and add them to a calendar, 2). Identify points of contact, social media pages, or other contact information for the organizers of the events, and add them to a database

The first intern will search for events in Vladivostok of potential interest to Consulate American staff, and that are organized by organizations that could partner with the Consulate in the future, monitoring Vl.ru (https://www.vl.ru/afisha/vladivostok/events/all) on a daily basis. The intern will send short summaries to the Consulate including the following information: event title, event description (max ~75 words), date, location, cost (if any), point of contact (if none listed - any contact information or at least the organizing body). The intern must then add the organizer's information to an Excel spreadsheet, updating it on a weekly basis.
The second intern will search for major events in 3 regions - Primorskiy Krai (mainly Vladivostok, followed by Artem, Ussuriisk, and Nakhodka), Khabarovsk (mainly Khabarovsk, followed by Komsomolsk-na-Amure, and Sakhalin (mainly Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk). This intern will do the same tasks: monitor the sites on a daily basis, send short summaries to the Consulate including the following information: event title, event description (max ~75 words), date, location, cost (if any), point of contact (if none listed - any contact information or at least the organizing body). The intern must then add the organizer's information to an Excel spreadsheet, updating it on a weekly basis. This intern should primarily monitor the following websites: Vladivostok: Primamedia - http://primamedia.ru/, Vl.ru - http://www.vl.ru/, Konkurent - http://konkurent.ru/, Zolotoy Rog - http://zrpress.ru/, Regional news portal - http://primorye.ru/; Sakhalin/Kuril: Sakh.com - http://sakh.com/, Sakhalinmedia- sakhalinmedia.ru/, ASTV - https://astv.ru/, Khabarovsk: Vostokmedia (both Primorye and Khabarovsk) - http://vostokmedia.com/, Amurmedia – http://amurmedia.ru/, DvHab –http://www.dvhab.ru/, DebriDV - http://debri-dv.com/

Are you a communications rockstar? Do you spend hours a day scrolling through Twitter and reading the top stories on news sites? Do you doodle during classes or in your free time? The public affairs and press office in the State Department’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation wants you! We are looking for a media-savvy college student who wants to channel their press and social media obsession to build an awesome resume.
Our bureau’s mission is to keep the world’s most dangerous weapons—nukes, chemicals and biological toxins—out of the hands of the worst people. And we need someone to scour social media platforms as well as news media to find out what people are saying about us and our key issues. We also need a creative soul to find catchy ways to illustrate some cool issues (think missiles and nukes) and other issues that maybe aren’t as scintillating (think UN resolutions and treaties). If you’ve got interest or experience in international security and nonproliferation, that would be a major bonus.
United States
Preferred Skills (but still apply if you are passionate about any of these!):
-Media tracking and analytics
-Social media management
-Great research and writing skills
-Communications background/coursework
-Infographic design (preferred, not required)

The purpose of this project is to establish a data repository that the political and economic section can use to collect, format, graph, and analyze data relevant to research questions and policy making. The section requires a data set that is 1) easily accessible 2) standardized and formatted and 3) incorporates predefined graphs and charts relevant to profile areas.
With guidance from the mission, the intern will be responsible for updating, standardizing, annotating and adding to the existing database. The intern will identify historic data calls and predict future data needs based on those and on interviews with the section’s staff. The intern should be prepared to analyze the data and describe in narrative form trends and conclusions that can be drawn from the data and derived products. Examples of data products include: election results; Assembly composition analysis; budget execution at central and local levels; trade trends; unemployment analysis; comparison of different numbers for key figures (e.g., GDP growth); and air monitoring data.
The candidate should be able to identify and incorporate data from a variety of sources including: the World Bank; International Monetary Fund; European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; the European Union; Kosovo Ministry of Finance; Central Bank of Kosovo; Kosovo Statistics Agency; U.S. Census Bureau; and World Trade Organization.
Post will support the virtual intern via periodic phone calls and provide email support. Post will provide the intern with examples of data analysis used in past products, as well as templates for storing the data.
The project will likely span 10 weeks.

The Eliminate, Neutralize, and Disrupt (END) Wildlife Trafficking Act states that it is the policy of the U.S. to take actions to stop the illegal global trade in wildlife. As Malaysia has been designated as a focus country under the act, U.S. Embassy Kuala Lumpur needs to monitor and assess threats to Malaysia's wildlife and the actions taken to combat illegal wildlife trafficking. The project will collect open source data on wildlife trafficking trends, assess the threat to Malaysia's wildlife, and summarize government actions to discourage and prevent it through the development database. The project will develop a tracker containing public data such as running tallies on the number of seizures, the estimated dollar value of seized items, the destination and sources of trafficked species, breakdowns by priority species, agencies/individuals responsible for the seizure, and successful/unsuccessful prosecutions of wildlife trafficking cases.
The output from this project will be used in the development of U.S. government-supported programs targeted at combating the illegal wildlife trafficking trade in Malaysia and the region. The VSFS will have the opportunity to brief the Embassy on their findings via a video conference.

Malaysia
Malaysia is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world with iconic endemic wildlife such as proboscis monkeys, orang utans, elephants and tigers. Unfortunately, a high number of endangered species are also threatened by the illegal wildlife trade. Due to its strategic location and good ports and airports, Malaysia is also a significant illegal wildlife smuggling hub for transporting ivory, rhino horns, pangolins, birds, reptiles, and others. The demand for endangered Malaysian wildlife from abroad is high, due to its high commercial value. Animals are aggressively hunted for decorative purposes or for their alleged medicinal properties. Often, animals are poached from protected areas and forest reserves. Species at risk include Sun Bears, Pangolins, Malayan Tigers, Elephants, Sambar Deer, Otters, Python, Tortoises, and many others. In an illustrative case of the threat posed to endangered species due to wildlife trafficking, in 2019 the Malaysian Sumatran Rhino was officially declared extinct in the wild. Your assistance in this project will not only assist in combating criminal networks but will also play a critical role in the continued survival of Malaysian wildlife.

A part of improving health and wellness in the United States is helping people understand health risks and how health risks can be mitigated. In a rapidly evolving digital age, Americans are inundated with information and often have a hard time finding and interpreting health data. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is uniquely poised to provide this information, and our mission is to provide health data to guide actions and policies that will benefit the health of Americans.
This project will guide the redesign of printed and electronic products produced by NCHS, including reports, infographics, data visualizations, and social media content. The goal is to (1) reimagine NCHS data products so that they provide a more accessible and more appealing user experience for those looking for health information, and (2) expand the accessibility of NCHS content for a non-technical audience on new media platforms. Team members will learn and work together to guide research, product development, and implementation during the redesign process. Duties may include: conducting research on best dissemination practices (e.g., on social media, on search engines); creating digital content; analyzing data to measure and improve product performance online.

We are looking for native Lithuanian speakers to converse with our Foreign Service Officers in an informal setting, by either phone or video chats. Conversations may start out very basic, on every day topics, and will become more sophisticated as the Diplomats advance in the training. By speaking Lithuanian with our Diplomats, you will have a unique opportunity to help them improve their language competence, as well as to discuss Lithuanian history, politics and culture with a future representative of the United States to Lithuania.

We provide housing, ship and deliver personal goods, book travel, supply furniture, drive people around Turkey, and help procure items from toilet paper to cars. Everything we do is accompanied by multiple government regulations and post policies that all need to be complied with, to best serve the customer. However, these rules are hard to explain in the context of helping the customer rather than insisting on rules for the sake of having rules. We need your help in creating a series of fun and engaging videos or infographics to share rules and policies with our customers. Have a better way to communicate our information?

The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok is seeking assistance in reporting on political, economic, cultural, and social developments in the Russian Far East - the largest consulate district in the world by landmass. The world's attention has turned to this region as September 2018 elections resulted in surprise upsets of incumbent politicians, and 6 out of the 10 districts with the lowest support for President Putin in the March presidential elections were in this region. The Public Affairs Section and Political-Economic Section of the Consulate are seeking an intern to help catch news stories each day that could be of broader interest outside the region. The Consular District recently expanded to include 3 more regions - Transbaikal, Irkutsk, and Buryatia. The Consulate has not traditionally been monitoring these areas, so illuminating an under-served region will be valuable to informing U.S. foreign policy in this area.
VLADIVOSTOK
Russia
Ideally, the virtual intern(s) would send a report of relevant news headlines and stories in the Russian Far East 3-5 days per week, with the report arriving in Vladivostok by about 8:30am local time, which would be 6:30pm in Washington, DC (5:30pm Central Time, 4:30pm Mountain Time, 3:30pm Pacific Time). Priority days would be Sunday-Thursday, but the schedule would be negotiable based on your availability. The Russian Far East has expanded to include includes 12 regions/districts: Primorye (where Vladivostok is located), Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, Yakutsk, Kamchatka, Magadan, Chukotka, Amur, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Irkutsk, Buryatia, and Transbaikal. The main outlets to monitor are the following:
Vladivostok: Primamedia - http://primamedia.ru/, Vl.ru - http://www.vl.ru/, Konkurent - http://konkurent.ru/, Zolotoy Rog - http://zrpress.ru/, Regional news portal - http://primorye.ru/; Sakhalin/Kuril: Sakh.com - http://sakh.com/, Sakhalinmedia- sakhalinmedia.ru/, ASTV - https://astv.ru/, Khabarovsk: Vostokmedia (both Primorye and Khabarovsk) - http://vostokmedia.com/, Amurmedia – http://amurmedia.ru/, DvHab –http://www.dvhab.ru/, DebriDV - http://debri-dv.com/, Yakutsk: Yakutiainfo – http://yakutia.info/, Ykt.ru - http://news.ykt.ru/, YSIA - http://ysia.ru/; Kamchatka: Kamchatinfo - http://kamchat.info/, Kam24 - https://www.kam24.ru/, VestiPK - http://www.vestipk.ru/; Amur, PortAmur - https://portamur.ru/, Amur.Info - http://www.amur.info/; Magadan: Kolyma - http://www.kolyma.ru/, Magadanmedia - http://magadanmedia.ru/; Chukotka: IA Chukotka - http://www.prochukotku.ru/, Anadyr - http://www.anadyr.org/; Jewish Autonomous Oblast: Gorod na Bire - http://www.gorodnabire.ru/, EAOmedia - http://eaomedia.ru/, Transbaikal - https://www.chita.ru/news/, https://zab.ru/news, https://ok.ru/chitaru, https://www.mkchita.ru/news/; Irkutsk: https://www.irk.ru/news/, https://irkutsk.news/, https://baikal.mk.ru/news/, https://irk.today/, Buryatia: https://www.infpol.ru/, https://gazetarb.ru/news/, https://arigus.tv/news/, https://bgtrk.ru/
Not all outlets would need to be monitored each day, but starting from the first outlet in each region, you would do the following: translate the news home page into English (right click and select 'translate page' in Google Chrome), scan for stories of broader interest based on the criteria below, copy headlines and URLs into a Word document, copy any key facts from the stories (time permitting), organize the headlines by general category, and then send the Word document to the following email addresses: ThiesDT@State.gov; ParisiB@State.gov; and MotovilovDA@State.gov. In general, the topics of interest are the following:
1. North Koreans in the Russian Far East (RFE)
2. North Korean efforts to develop its nuclear weapons program and delivery systems
3. U.S.-Russian Relations in the RFE
4. The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok
5. Sanctions on Russia and North Korea
6. Public Opinion Polling of residents in the RFE
7. Federal government efforts to develop the RFE

The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations directs the worldwide overseas building program for the Department of State. Working with other offices and bureaus, foreign affairs agencies, and Congress, OBO sets worldwide priorities for the design, construction, acquisition, maintenance, use, and sale of real properties and the use of sales proceeds. Embassies and consulates are required to be safe, secure, and functional, but also should be inspiring places for the conduct of diplomacy and represent the best of American architecture, design, engineering, and construction. OBO develops sites that best represent the U.S. government and its goals and enhance the conduct of diplomacy. Whenever possible, sites are selected in urban areas, allowing U.S. embassies and consulates to contribute to the civic and urban fabric of host cities. The design of buildings and sites is a comprehensive process of understanding and balancing requirements and incorporating them into a thoughtfully conceived, cohesive, and inspiring whole.
OBO currently has one of the most diverse lease portfolios in the world with over 16,000 leased assets in 190 countries. Along with a diverse portfolio, OBO must navigate different business cultures, markets, and regulations while leasing safe, secure, and functional properties for the Department of State. OBO works closely with post to lease these properties.
The Division of Major Leasing is seeking a skilled designer in layout and graphics to create marketing and informational materials (i.e. brochures, pamphlets, infographics) about the Division, its programs, and processes.
Our ideal VSFS candidate will:
• be seeking a degree in Graphic Design, Marketing, or a related field;
• be skilled in Adobe Creative Cloud (i.e. InDesign, Photoshop) or alternatives;
• have portfolio samples;
• concern yourself with details;
• be highly creative; and
• have an interest in learning how international real estate with the government works, and graphically represent this information.
This is a great opportunity to put your design skills to use and learn about how the United States does real estate overseas!

We want to give a broader American perspective to our online content. We want to show how students in America goes about their daily routine and how American society welcomes people from other countries. You as a virtual intern will support our public diplomacy through research and finding stories that Pakistani online users would relate to, such as stories related to Muslim students on your college campus, Pakistani-American success stories, and U.S. education in general. The U.S. Mission to Pakistan has an extremely large following – with over 11 million followers on Facebook alone.
We are looking for someone with a keen interest in journalism, online activism, blogging, photography, videography, and social media outreach. You will be asked to find stories related to the mentioned themes, capture good-quality photographs, conduct interviews, cover campus events, campus tours, research opportunities for international students, and stories about Muslim and Pakistani students.
Also, a part of your internship will be interacting with Pakistani students. We would arrange English-language Skype virtual chats with Pakistani schools and colleges on soft topics where you will interact with students, present on a certain topic, and answer questions. Or you could be asked to do a Facebook Live video for the Embassy or Consulate page. Such events would provide an opportunity to hone your public speaking skills in front of a young and engaging audience. (See additional info for full project detail)

U.S. Embassy Islamabad and Consulate General Peshawar are looking for two Virtual Interns focused on research for public diplomacy in Pakistan. Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan and home to approximately 1 million people. Islamabad houses many government ministries and sits at the base of the Margalla Hills. Peshawar is a town of 1.9 million residents and is located in the northern part of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan. This part of the country has suffered the most from terrorism and militancy. A massacre of over 140 students and teachers at the Army Public School in Peshawar crystallized the threat of terrorism in the region and galvanized the government, military, and local partners into action to prevent such violence. Since then, violent incidents in northwest Pakistan have decreased to a large extent, but Peshawar and the surrounding areas are still subject to occasional suicide bombings and targeted killings.
The culture of the northwest region is conservative. Islam is the religion of 90% of the population; religious minorities include Hindus, Sikh, and Christian communities. Due to the devastating effects of violence in the region following 9/11 and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, there is a negative narrative against the United States in this region. Our main public diplomacy goal is to counter that narrative and increase understanding and acceptance of American values among the people of northwest Pakistan. This goal includes illustrating how the U.S. has evolved into one of the most accepting societies around the world, as far as religions, ethnicities, and culture is concerned. We want to show the students and youth the opportunities and prosperity that are available through learning more about and partnering with the U.S.
To achieve this goal, we want to give an American perspective to our online content. We want to show how students in America goes about their daily routine and how American society welcomes people from other countries. You as a virtual intern will support our public diplomacy through research and finding stories that Pakistani online users would relate to, such as stories related to Muslim students on your college campus, Pakistani-Americans that you have come across, Pakistani-American success stories, and U.S. education in general.
We are looking for someone with a keen interest in journalism, online activism, blogging, photography, videography, and social media outreach. You will be asked to find stories related to the mentioned themes, capture good-quality photographs, conduct interviews, cover campus events, campus tours, research opportunities for international students, and stories about Muslim and Pakistani students.
Also, a major part of your internship will be interacting with Pakistani students. We would arrange English-language Skype virtual chats with Pakistani schools and colleges on soft topics where you will interact with students, present on a certain topic, and answer questions. Such events would provide an opportunity to hone your public speaking skills in front of a young and engaging audience.
You should be able to adjust to conduct virtual webchats/speaking events for the different time zone of Pakistani Standard Time. Often, your participation in these events will mean being awake at odd hours for you during either late night or early morning hours Eastern Standard Time. You will be expected to communicate with the Embassy or Consulate responsively through email, cell phone, WhatsApp, and Skype.
If you are passionate about sharing your perspective as an American with the residents of Pakistan, this internship is for you.

The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) trains diplomats in over 70 languages. The more practice they get speaking their target language, the more prepared they will be for their language exam, and most importantly, to do their job at post. We are looking for native Estonian speakers to converse with our Foreign Service Officers in an informal setting, by either phone or video chats. Conversations may start out very basic, on every day topics, and will become more sophisticated as the Diplomats advance in the training. By speaking Estonian with our Diplomats, you will have a unique opportunity to help them improve their language competence, as well as to discuss Estonian history, politics and culture with a future representative of the United States to Estonia.
