What are the responsibilities and job description for the Corporate/Asian Affairs Intern position at US-Taiwan Business Council?
Corporate Affairs/Asian Affairs Interns will assist in the research of business and policy issues impacting the climate for U.S. companies doing business in Taiwan. They will compile useful news and information into meaningful formats for the Council’s staff and membership base. Interns will work on a myriad of short and long-term research projects as well as conduct some general office work. Interns will be afforded opportunities to participate in discussions, seminars, and networking events in the D.C. area.
The Council’s internship program is tailored towards upperclassmen and undergraduate students, and we do not accept applications from students in Master’s degree programs. Since all interns work together on group projects, the disparity in experience tends to make for an uneven group dynamic that negatively affects output.
