International Governments

The Washington Center is a large and influential organization in the field of experiential education. TWC works closely with governments of countries around the world to prepare students and professionals to become active and engaged leaders in their societies.

 

Participants sponsored by our international partners usually return to their own country and start immediately contributing to the public, private and nonprofit sectors.  These relationships are formed at national, state and provincial levels.

 

Working with The Washington Center

The Washington Center offers several opportunities for governments to invest in their students, professionals and societies. Participants in these programs not only learn the way Washington, D.C., works from the inside, they also have the opportunity to interact with key decision makers in their individual fields of interest.

Internships

Case Study: Mexico

The Washington Center’s work with the Mexican government is the best example of an effective, long-term partnership. We work with Mexico in three different ways:
  • Welcoming Mexican students come to Washington, D.C., for the regular internship programs.
  • Offering Mexican Government funding for participants in the Governors Internship Program.
  • Organizing special seminars and agendas.

Key Facts About The Washington Center

Since 1975, The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars has been providing an integrated academic and work experience to prepare college students and professionals for lives of achievement and civic engagement. It is the largest and most influential organization of this kind.

The Washington Center Stands Apart

Founded more than 35 years ago, The Washington Center has distinguished its experiential education programs and seminars by instilling in our participants the three pillars upon which our institution was founded: civic engagement, professional development and leadership. These principles are incorporated in the pursuit of excellence in public service combined with academic and professional exposure and meaningful civic discourse.
