Summer+Internship+in+India

to Carol, Suzanne, Kissan, Tailan B-School Faculty: The B-School is proud to launch an exciting opportunity for our students to intern in India. The opportunity is detailed below and a flyer is attached. A couple of our former Finance Scholars, Peter Curzon and Ryan Ingle, completed internships in India in 2007. Both of them ended up with extremely competitive full-time positions. Peter went to Thomas Wiesel in San Francisco and is now at Yelp and Ryan went to Citi in NY and is now at Blackstone. Both attributed their full-time employment success to their summer internship in India, as it was what prospective employers focused on most in their interviews for full-time jobs. This opportunity truly represents a great combination of international travel and resume building experience for our students. Many students have already accepted internships for the summer. Additionally, this opportunity may not broadly appeal to the masses. We have a tight application timeframe. Given these challenges and our hope to identify at least a few highly qualified students, we greatly appreciate your assistance in helping us to promote this opportunity to students. Our ability to identify students for the program this year will facilitate this relationship in the years ahead. To apply, students should visit KU Career Connections and search by “India Internship Program” under Employers or “Summer 2012 Internships in India” by position title to locate the opportunity. We are asking students to submit a resume and two brief responses to the essay prompts by Sunday, February 26. This opportunity is open to undergraduate and graduate students regardless of work authorization. If students have questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Summer 2012 Internships in India Position Information Employer: India Internship Program - KU School of Business Title: Summer 2012 Internships in India Description: INDIA INTERNSHIP PROGRAM: SUMMER 2012 THE OPPORTUNITY India is rapidly emerging as a key destination for many US firms, both in terms of collaboration on the supply side as well as a booming market on the demand side. Recognizing the growing importance of India, the School of Business is organizing a Summer internship program in India for a cohort of 3-6 undergraduate and graduate students. The internships are being organized in collaboration with the Asian School of Business (ASB), a newly-founded private institution located in Trivandrum, India. At this point in time, the specific areas of the internships are still being defined but ASB will strive to place selected students in their functional area(s) of interest. As such, students from all the functional areas of business are invited to apply. Please note that English is the language of business in India - there are more than 45 million English speakers in the country. The internship will be based in the city of Bangalore during the months of June and July, 2012 (8 weeks), and the cohort will share common accommodations although they make work at multiple firms. A short orientation session will also be provided on the ASB campus in Trivandrum prior to the commencement of the internship.
