Letter from the Chairman of the Board & the PresidentDear Friends and Supporters,At The Washington Center, we believe that each member of society shares a basic civic duty to helpingeducate young, future leaders by giving them the tools they need to be active, engaged global citizens. Weare proud to share with you our 2012 Scholarship Yearbook, which highlights all of our partners who workwith us to accomplish this mission. It is because of the generous support from corporations, foundations,higher education institutions, state legislatures, government agencies, alumni, and individuals that we areable to provide financial assistance for students to attend our programs–students who may otherwise nothave the chance to experience such an opportunity.During the past year, Urvashi Banerjea, a student from The College of New Jersey, told us: “I havetruly been able to realize my aspirations and goals through each and every experience I have had here inWashington, D.C. Through The Washington Center, students from all around the world are given a oncein a lifetime chance to immerse themselves in the culture of D.C. and develop professionally and socially inall aspects of their lives.”More than 75 percent of The Washington Center’s student body receives financial support to attend theprogram, and for this we would like to thank our friends and contributors who share our vision. Withyour help, we are continuing to provide students the chance to test-drive their careers with professionalexperience and link the knowledge gained in the classroom to the reality of the global workplace. We lookforward to continue providing a transformational experience for students with your support.Warm regards,Ambassador Alan J. BlinkenChairmanMichael B.

FederalPartnerships54 The Washington Center | 2012 Scholarship Yearbook

Federal PartnershipsStudents from across the countryhave an opportunity to gain hands-onexperience in federal agencies. Manyutilize the experience to join federalagencies upon graduation.Studies show that internships provide the best return on investmentfor recruiting new talent to an organization. Intern recruits tend tostay with their employers longer, minimizing the impact of turnoveron the organization. For the last eight years, The WashingtonCenter has partnered with numerous federal agencies to address theworkforce planning challenges the federal government faces.The Washington Center has been a link for the federal governmentto a diverse, highly talented pool of candidates who are interestedin becoming the next generation of public servants. In fact, 20 to 25percent of Washington Center students interning in federal agenciesare converted to full-time employment, while the average conversionrate in the federal government is 6 percent.Our internship programs are a distinctive combination of workforcetraining, experiential education, and leadership developmentdesigned specifically for the critical role federal agencies play inattracting a highly qualified and diverse future workforce. As aresult, participants gain relevant “real world” work experience, makecontacts critical to developing their professional network, and learnto tie classroom learning with their future career. Students alsogain a better understanding and greater appreciation for the federalgovernment by exploring future career opportunities through thesetailored internship programs.Currently, The Washington Center partners withmany federal agencies, including:• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)• Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)• Internal Revenue Service (IRS)• National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)• U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)• U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)• U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)Federal PartnershipsThe Washington Center | 2012 Scholarship Yearbook 55
