The U.S. Department of
State has over 275 virtual
intern projects available for the upcoming academic year (September 2013
through April 2014). These “eInternships” are a great way to gain experience in
a variety of fields without having to relocate for the duration of the
internship! According to the Virtual
Student Foreign Service (VSFS) program, eIntern
duties and responsibilities will vary depending on the needs of the federal
agency office or U.S. diplomatic post overseas and the types of VSFS projects
identified. VSFS projects may involve research, contributing to reports on
issues such as human rights, economics, or the environment. Projects may also
be more technology oriented such as working on web pages or helping produce
electronic journals. Students are expected to dedicate an average of 10 hours
per week on VSFS eInternship projects.
The application deadline is July 20, 2013. A
resume, unofficial or official transcript or proof of enrollment, and statement
of interest will be required as part of the application package. To learn more,
