ACADEMY FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM GUIDELINES

The internship program at the Academy for Educational Development was established to:

• Enhance AED's ability to attract students of academic excellence as potential full-time employees;
• Aid in the development of a multicultural workforce by focusing on attracting candidates from historically diverse institutions of higher learning.

WHY PARTICIPATE

AED offers two types of internships:

• Paid internships, which provide the student with a salary commensurate with experience and academic history;
• Non-paid internships, which provide the student with academic course credit or experience.

Undergraduate and graduate student interns are given the opportunity to:

• Acquire an insight into the types of programming within an organization focused on global education and communication technology;
• Gain substantive work experience;
• Develop a realistic understanding of the education and experience required at different levels of responsibility within AED and similar organizations.

Interns are involved in a variety of activities such as research and writing; coordination of itineraries and meeting schedules for consultants, visitors, and students; and proposal preparation and production.
