Korea West Interns Bolster Staff at TA Airports
Korea West interns recently began working at three airports while another intern departed a fourth.
Korea West is a post-college internship program managed jointly by the U.S. State Department and the South Korean Ministry of Education. These young adults participate in the program to improve their English skills before returning home. WEST is actually an acronym for Work, English, Study, Travel.
Travelers Aid/Reagan Airport on March 5 said good-bye to Korea West intern Mindy Song. Mindy provided 2,375 hour of service to Travelers Aid during her internship. Mindy’s essay summarizing her experience at Reagan National won a $1,000 award from the South Korean Ministry of Education.
