KAAGNY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

KAAGNY’s internship program is offered throughout the year to graduate/undergraduate students and recent graduates interested in gaining hands-on work experience as well as exposure to practices in non profit work. The KAAGNY internship program is especially beneficial for applicants interested in public policy, public relations, marketing and social services.

While the term of internship may vary by individual and department, we require a minimum commitment of 3 months. Standardized programs are offered in the summer and in the winter. Intern recruiting for the spring and fall are conducted as needed.

Deadline for applicants is on a rolling and need basis and may vary by the department of your interest. While we consider both part-time and full-time applicants, we prefer candidates who are available full-time.

QUALIFICATIONS

Interns can enjoy a wide range of experiences while working at KAAGNY. We treat all interns with professionalism, and we expect like attitude and commitment. All applicants must be proficient in both spoken and written English and have basic computer skills. Proficiency in Korean is a plus. Basic knowledge of government and economic policy would also be beneficial.

ORIENTATION & TRAINING

We provide an excellent training program. During orientation, we provide our interns with general background information on KAAGNY, including its various departments and its main functions. The orientation session also provides interns of the various departments with the opportunity to mingle and become better acquainted with one another and with the KAAGNY staff.

Once the internship begins, interns of the various departments are placed under the supervision of the respective staff. While interns are expected to assist their supervisors on various projects, supervisors can be expected to provide their interns with the training and skills that are necessary for carrying out KAAGNY's organizational practices as well as for future job placement. Supervisors essentially function as mentors and provide regular feedback and evaluation on performance. Performance evaluations are conducted at the end of each month and serves as an opportunity for both parties to reflect upon the internship experience.

COMPENSATION

The program at KAAGNY is an unpaid internship. As a non-profit organization, KAAGNY is unable to offer its interns the monetary compensation they may be able to receive in the private sector. However, KAAGNY provides value no other organization can offer. Our interns are able to receive the exposure we believe is essential for someone who is about to enter the business world.

KAAGNY provides its interns with hands-on work experience in the industry of their interest, an opportunity to develop professional business skills, and a chance to network with international business leaders and gain a wider understanding of theKorean American business environment in the US. Moreover, interns are invited to all KAAGNY meetings and events, including board of directors meetings and committee meetings. At these meetings, interns may attend presentations by world-class guest speakers from the US and Korea and take advantage of the chance to meet and network with successful business leaders of various industries.
