APPLICATIONS DUE BY APRIL 15, 2017 Contacts: Marina Klein, Program Director mkleinranepa@gmail.com Tatiana Kuznetsova, Program Coordinator rissapply@gmail.com To find out more about this program please visit http://ion.ranepa.ru/en/non-degree/947/riss   Russian International Summer School 2017 / Internship opportunities We offer our students the opportunity for immersion in the language through academic (nonpaid) internships in Russian and international organizations and companies that work in Moscow. Working with native Russian-speaking colleagues gives students the opportunity to acquire professional vocabulary, thus improving Russian business communication skills, e.g., business correspondence skills. These internships also allow students to gain invaluable professional experience, which often becomes their ticket to a prestigious company, and certainly allow them to stand out among the competition in the eyes of HR managers and admissions officers at graduate schools (see testimonials). We do not guarantee automatic placement at any of the organisations in the right column, but we do our best to find our students internship placements that match their academic majors and/or professional interests.
