If you are interested in cross-cultural communication, leadership, and youth development and would like to gain international students advising work experience, then this internship is a perfect fit for you!
Selected VSFS interns will:
• Acquire cross-cultural communication and networking skills by broadening awareness about Armenia, one of the ancient countries in the world. With the help of bright Armenian students, they will know more about Armenian history and culture and will develop strong relationships with future leaders.
• Boost their youth development and leadership competencies as well as will increase knowledge on ways and methods of teaching while advising and coaching the students.
• Develop professional skills to work online and remotely which is becoming so important nowadays.
• Enhance presentation and public speaking skills and gain confidence by delivering a series of webinars on different soft skills important for international students.
Two interns (Bachelor’s and Master’s degree students) are needed for EducationUSA Armenia to work with enthusiastic and highly motivated Armenian students to help them fulfill their desire to study in the U.S. higher education institutions. Each intern will facilitate their respective group of students who are seeking undergraduate or graduate admission by leading virtual workshops/presentations on the U.S. admissions process, sharing their college experiences, proof-reading essays and motivation letters, leading online book discussion, and virtual test preparation sessions, conducting mock college interviews, etc.
Interns will contribute and bring value in reaching the overall goal of EducationUSA Armenia Competitive College Club: to provide academic advising and information on all the steps and processes necessary to not only apply but to have a stellar application and be a very competitive candidate from Armenia!
