AGBU Urges Students to Apply to Summer 2015 Program

Applications are now being accepted for AGBU’s 2015 New York Summer Internship Program (NYSIP), offering Armenian university students worldwide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live and work in one of the most exciting cities in the world. This year’s applicants will have the chance to join the ranks of over a thousand program alumni who have risen to the top of their fields.

Since 1987, New York has hosted the longest-running AGBU Summer Internship Program, welcoming hundreds of participants from all over the world. With a long-standing reputation among top-rated host institutions, NYSIP is able to place interns in highly competitive companies throughout the city. Past host institutions have included Merrill Lynch, Columbia University Medical Center, Christie’s, Ismael Leyva Architects, New York 1 News, Telegraph UK, Rothschild, Mirrorball, Urban Designers, and Massey Knakal. In addition to work experience, New York is also the ideal venue for networking with professionals in the Armenian community and beyond.

Following the broader mission of the AGBU, the summer program is also geared toward empowering the young Armenian community by nurturing a network of students from around the world. Interns form lifelong friendships and professional contacts, creating the basis for a global network of young Armenian professionals.

Last year, 33 undergraduate and graduate students from Armenia, Brazil, Canada, France, Lebanon, Romania, Syria, the United Kingdom, and the United States participated in the program and were placed in prestigious institutions like Michael Aram, Deutsche Bank, Human Rights Watch, and NYU Medical Center.

The selection process is already underway and the application deadline is Dec. 1, 2014. For more information and to apply online, visit www.agbu-internship.org/nysip.
