Youths begin Internships
After going through a nationwide competition, 30 Asian American students including ethnic groups of Chinese, South Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Miao American, are about to start an internship in various US government branches under a program hosted by the International Leadership Foundation. The Public Affairs internship program of the International Leadership Foundation assigned the students to 12 federal government departments and offices for internships this year, including the departments of State, Defense, and Commerce. For four consecutive years, the interns have also been selected to intern at the White House.
Outcomes:
"We looked who are likely to be leaders five years and 10 years from now," said Szabat. Chiling Tong, the CEO of the International Leadership Foundation, said that the students from all over the country come to the capitol to study together, expand their horizon, and establish a network. "They will become more creative, decisive, and competitive," said Tong.
