EducationUSA in Northeast Asia and the Pacific (NEAP), a region covering, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan and the Pacific Islands, has several top-sending countries to the United States, and a number of growing markets. EducationUSA advisers work with students in seminars, virtual sessions, workshops, and in cohorts.
Work with the NEAP REAC and advisers to assist students participating in EducationUSA programs. Interns receive training on working with students, and will help advisers review essays, build advising materials, and occasionally connect with students during live sessions.
EducationUSA NEAP is building its capacity to manage cohorts, both virtual and in person, and the virtual intern will provide support for advisers managing these groups. The intern will start with cohort students from the Pacific Islands and also work with short-term and longer cohorts across the region.
In addition to providing support for the REAC and advisers, the intern will work to build a guide for future volunteers on working with NEAP students.
