Dear KSEA members,

We would like to inform you that the WEST(Work, English Study, Travel) Program has been established recently between US and Korea(see attached press release) and the KSEA would like to contribute to this program in cooperation with the KUSCO. The KUSCO has been in contact with the Korean government for this program. The KSEA was asked to take part in this program arranging the host institutions to provide internships for about 100-300 students next year starting from summer or fall. The host institutions do not need to provide any financial support but should be able to assign reasonable internship projects to the visiting students with appropriate office spaces.

The KSEA-HQ assigned the Task Force to coordinate the WEST Program and appointed Former (18th) President of KSEA, Prof. Chin-Ok Lee, as the Chair of this Task Force. His contact information is as follows:

Prof. Chin-Ok Lee
