What are the Responsibilities of the Client Organization?<br />
Organizations interested in participating in the Practicum are asked to submit a brief document<br />
describing a project they would be interested in having a SAIS student team address. The description<br />
includes any particular concerns or challenges with the project, any travel required, <strong>and</strong> any particular<br />
skills on the part of the team members that would be useful in completing the project. ERE faculty then<br />
choose the teams for each project <strong>and</strong> try to match team skills to any requirements specified by the<br />
client. The client organization provides guidance <strong>and</strong> assistance to the team throughout the academic<br />
year, as needed, including initial contacts for any necessary student field work. Working together, the<br />
team, faculty <strong>and</strong> client organization craft practical, integrated solutions to the challenge they have<br />
accepted.<br />
What Value do SAIS Students Bring to the Client <strong>and</strong> Practicum?<br />
SAIS is one of the world’s premiere institutions for graduate study in international relations <strong>and</strong> policy.<br />
Its students are drawn from over 70 countries <strong>and</strong> are trained in economics, international relations,<br />
regional studies <strong>and</strong> languages. Many also have a strong business <strong>and</strong> finance background for project<br />
analysis. ERE students are solution oriented integrators who draw on breadth of knowledge <strong>and</strong><br />
experience in rigorous <strong>and</strong> creative ways to successfully implement cutting edge research. The student<br />
teams provide the client with an opportunity to explore <strong>and</strong> answer a critical question that they would<br />
not otherwise have. In addition, the interaction provides a chance for insight <strong>and</strong> mutual knowledge<br />
sharing, beyond the scope of the more st<strong>and</strong>ard internship <strong>program</strong>s. The Practicum is a real chance for<br />
collaborative effort with benefits to all participants.<br />
