The city said foreign undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in Seoul universities can participate in the biannual program that runs from July 4 to August 22. Applications close May 30.
Selected applicants will be sent to different SMG departments, such as the Conflict Management Division, the Multiculturalism Division, the Tax Collection Division and the Public Development Division. Each division will have different job requirements and responsibilities.
The program, launched in 2008, gives international students an opportunity to participate in city affairs during the summer and winter vacations. So far, more than 500 students from over 70 countries have successfully completed the internship.
